Why your body will thank you: 

This recipe provides a powerful combination of ingredients, making it an excellent addition to a diet focused on breast cancer prevention: 

• Antioxidant-rich ingredients: mangoes and tomatoes contain carotenoids, a plant compound responsible for the bright red, yellow, orange and purple colours of certain fruits and vegetables. Carotenoids act as antioxidants and may help to reduce the risk of breast cancer, especially when you eat lots of them! 
• Healthy fats:  Avocado is high in unsaturated fats, particularly monounsaturated fats, which, when eaten in place of foods high in saturated or trans fats, may help reduce breast cancer risk.
