  Eating nine to 10 servings of vegetables and fruits a day will provide you with vitamins C and E and antioxidant bioflavonoids such as xanthophylls and beta-carotene. All are good dietary supports for breast cancer patients.
  
  

Multivitamins

• There are mineral and multivitamin supplements that provide necessary nutrients and antioxidants. But you still need to consume at least five servings of vegetables and fruits a day as well as five or six servings of beans and whole grains.
