1 EAT A HEALTHY DIET
Eating a well balanced diet of vegetable, good quality meats and proteins, healthy fats, and nurient-dense foods is essential to being vital and healthy. Make sure to get plenty of essential fatty acids and anti-oxidant rich foods. Buy as much organic foods as you can to avoid genetically modified foods and harmful chemicals. And reduce the amount of processed sugars and simple carbohydrates in your diet, both things that create inflammation and acidity in the body.
2 MOVE YOUR BODY
Research suggests that increased physical activity, even when begun later in life, reduces overall breast-cancer risk by about 10 percent to 30 percent. All it takes is moderate exercise like a 30-minute walk five days a week to get this protective effect.
3 DON’T SMOKE
Smoking cigarettes is associated with increased risk of breast cancer in women and is terrible for your body in so many ways.
4 BREASTFEED YOUR BABIES FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN
Not only is breastfeeding good for your baby, it’s good for you as well. One study estimates that you reduce your risk 4.1 per cent for every 12 months of breastfeeding. So the longer that you breast feed, the better it is for your breast health (and your baby!!) It is assumed that the lower levels of estrogen in the body during lactation is responsible for the reduction in risk. The hormone estrogen fuels 80% of all breast cancers.
5 LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL YOU DRINK
Alcohol use is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. It’s recommended to have no more than 1 drink per day.
