Can I eat walnuts if I have breast hyperplasia and cysts?

People with breast hyperplasia and cysts can eat walnuts in moderation, but not in excess, and should pay attention to a balanced diet and control fat intake.

Breast hyperplasia and cysts are common benign breast problems, which are related to a variety of factors such as imbalanced estrogen secretion, mood swings and eating habits. People often worry that walnuts and other nuts will stimulate hyperplasia or aggravate cysts. In fact, the key is not the food itself, but whether the consumption and the overall diet structure are reasonable. Walnuts are rich in unsaturated fatty acids and trace elements, which help improve body metabolism, but excessive consumption may increase fat accumulation. At the same time, excessive fat intake may potentially affect endocrine balance.

If the daily intake of walnuts is controlled at around 2-3 pieces, it usually does not have adverse effects on the breasts, and can also provide the body with high-quality fats and a variety of nutrients. What should be avoided is pairing with high-fat, high-sugar foods, such as fried nuts or walnut crisp snacks with a lot of sugar. High-salt pickled nuts should also be eaten less to avoid affecting breast health. In terms of diet, it is recommended to consume more fresh fruits, vegetables, and foods rich in dietary fiber, reduce overly greasy diets, and maintain proper exercise and manage emotions, which can help improve the symptoms of breast hyperplasia and cysts.

If symptoms do not improve significantly after paying attention to your diet, or if breast problems are accompanied by tenderness, enlarged lumps, etc., it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in time and follow the doctor's advice.
