Avoid being overweight.

Overweight and obese women are more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer then women of a healthy weight. Gaining weight after menopause particularly increases the risk of beast cancer. Obese women also make more oestrogen in their body then slim women do, and oestrogen is known to fuel the growth of most types of breast cancer.
There are so many other reasons why breast cancer can occur from family history or just pure bad luck however at the end of the day following some simple lifestyle solution could drastically help reduce the chance of getting breast cancer

Exercise Regularly.

Regular exercise can help to protect you against breast cancer. Numerous studies have shown that women who perform cardiovascular exercise have lower rates of breast cancer. This is probably explained by the fact that regular exercisers are much less likely to be overweight and therefore have lower oestrogen levels. Exercise also helps to prevent constipation, therefore helps you to excrete excess oestrogen more efficiently.Performing six or more hours of strenuous exercise per week reduces the risk of invasive breast cancer by 23 percent! Exercise helps keep insulin levels down and also reduces the risk of breast cancer

Minimise Alcohol Consumption

Alcohol increases the level of free oestrogen in the bloodstream and it stimulates the liver to release a protein called insulin-like growth factor 1. This protein stimulates cell in the body to grow and multiply. If a tumour is present it will act as a fertiliser and fuel its growth. Metabolising alcohol uses up a lot of folic acid in your body. Folic acid is needed for healthy cell division and deficiency’s can increase the risk of damage to genetic material (DNA)
It is recommended that women consume no more then two standard drinks per day, and have at least two alcohol free days per week; however it is good to be aware that alcohol is a significant breast cancer risk factor.

Avoid Smoking Cigarettes

Smoking more then doubles the risk of breast cancer among women with a strong family history of the disease. Smokers have a 65% increase risk rate to developing cancer. Cigarettes’ generates a great deal of free radical in the body and causes DNA damage. The solvent and chemicals additives present in cigarettes are also known to promote cancer.
