A healthy Lifestyle prevents breast cancer
09 Jun 2010
A healthy lifestyle helps diminish the probability of developing
breast cancer. Having a child before the age of 30 offers some
protection because of the estrogen-free time period during pregnancy
and lactation.
If you have no control over the above, the next factor might be more
controllable: a diet low in bad -fats leads to a 30% reduction in
breast cancer risk. Along with fat consumption, it is worth mentioning
that a woman’s weight also plays a role: adipose (fat) cells secrete
estrogen and more fats cells lead to increased estrogen circulating in
the blood. Breast cancer is associated with increased estrogen in a
woman’s body: a long estrogenic time period in her life (early onset
of menarche, late onset of menopause, no child births, etc.)
Another controllable lifestyle factor involved in manipulating breast
cancer risk is alcohol consumption. Every year alcohol is responsible
for 5% of breast cancer diagnosis.
A woman who drinks alcohol daily increases her breast cancer risk by
6%.
Perhaps the must preventable factor and controllable in the same time
is increased consumption of fruits and vegetables. Along many vitamins
and other necessary healthy nutrients, fruits and vegetables contain
antioxidants- first defense against nasty toxins slowing down natural
healing processes of the body.
A diet high in fruits can reduce breast cancer risk by 30%.
In Japan, where the daily diet contains fish, rice, legumes, and less
bad fats, the rate of breast cancer is the smallest in the world. And
when this kind of diet is associated with at least 30 minutes of
physical exercise per day, the breast cancer risk is decreased 50%.
Studies show that lack of physical exercise is responsible for 11% of
breast cancer cases in the world.
Perhaps the worst factor that literally “feeds” the cancerous cells is
the artificial hormonal therapy, HRT (hormonal replacement therapy)
used widely in menopausal women to preserve youth. As bumpy as the as
the menopausal years can be, HRT is not worth it especially in women
who are already predisposed to breast cancer; natural alternatives
instead of HRTare available. Weather you are recovering for cancer or
just interested in prevention, a hesalthy lifestyle always ensures
breast cancer prevention.
