BRCA1, Nutrition, and Divine Juicery: Supporting DNA Repair Naturally
In the world of health and wellness, the role of BRCA1 in cancer prevention is becoming increasingly recognized. BRCA1 is a critical tumor suppressor gene that plays a vital role in repairing damaged DNA. When functioning properly, BRCA1 protects the body from genetic mutations that could lead to cancer, particularly breast and ovarian cancers. However, when this gene is compromised, the body's ability to repair DNA is weakened, increasing cancer risk. At Divine Juicery & Nutrition, we believe in the power of nature to support the body’s defense mechanisms, including BRCA1, through the right nutrients and minerals.
Nutrients That Support BRCA1 Function
Several key nutrients and minerals have been shown to enhance DNA repair and support BRCA1 function, contributing to the body’s ability to fight cancer at the cellular level:
-
Selenium – Known for its antioxidant properties, selenium helps protect cells from oxidative stress, which can lead to DNA damage. Foods like spinach and broccoli are excellent sources.
-
Zinc – This essential mineral supports DNA synthesis and repair, helping maintain genomic stability. Zinc-rich foods include pea pods, spinach, and hemp hearts.
-
Folate (Vitamin B9) – Folate is crucial for DNA synthesis and methylation, which regulates gene expression, including BRCA1. Avocados and spinach provide a rich source of folate.
-
Vitamin D – Although Vitamin D is mainly obtained through sunlight, it also plays a role in regulating BRCA1 expression and promoting DNA repair. Certain mushrooms and fortified foods offer small amounts.
-
Curcumin (from Turmeric) – This potent anti-inflammatory compound has been shown to influence BRCA1 expression and support DNA repair. While turmeric isn't in most fruits and vegetables, it's a powerful addition to your diet.
-
Resveratrol – Found in grapes and berries, resveratrol has anti-cancer properties and can help upregulate BRCA1.
-
Omega-3 Fatty Acids – These fatty acids reduce inflammation and support DNA repair. While most omega-3s are found in fish, plant sources include flaxseeds and chia seeds.
-
Sulforaphane – This compound found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and kale can activate tumor-suppressor genes like BRCA1 and assist in detoxifying carcinogens.
