Healthy habits to reduce the risk of breast cancer

Healthy habits to reduce the risk of breast cancer


In Breast Cancer Awareness Month, healthy habits can be done to reduce the risk of breast cancer, which is the number one cause of death for many women, however we can reduce the risk of

 developing certain types of breast cancer by changing the wrong bad habits. Here are the following set of habits to reduce its risk.


 Maintain a healthy weight

Maintaining a healthy weight is an important factor in reducing the risk of breast cancer. If you are overweight or obese, your risk of

 developing breast cancer is much higher than that of skinny women. This is because fat cells secrete substances including estrogen, which is thought to increase the risk of breast cancer.


One study found that losing just 5 percent of weight can reduce the risk of breast cancer by 25 to 40 percent.


A study published last August found that obese women with a BMI of 35 or more were 60 percent more likely to develop breast cancer than women of a healthy weight.


2. Regular exercise


Exercise may help reduce the risk of breast cancer, and several studies have linked exercise to a lower risk of breast cancer.


3. Give up red meat

 The risk of developing breast cancer rises with increased consumption of red meat. Reports confirmed that for every additional 100 grams of red meat, the risk increased by 4 percent.


It is preferable to eat fish instead of meat; They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients found in fish, which help reduce the risk of breast cancer.



4. Eat more soy


A recent study found that women who consume moderate amounts of soy are less likely to develop breast cancer.


5. Eat more curry

Curry is one of the best spices that fights hot roots in the body. Curcumin is rich in curcumin, along with other anti-inflammatory and cancer-fighting foods, including ginger, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, and red pepper.



6. Use more olive oil

Sprinkling olive oil on your salads reduces the risk of breast cancer by 41%.


7- Eat enough fiber


Whether it comes from fruits, vegetables, or whole grains, fiber is good for breast health. Studies have found a 5% reduction in the risk of breast cancer for every 10 grams of fiber added to a woman's diet daily.


7. Get enough sleep


 Get enough sleep

Studies show that sleeping less than six hours each night increases a woman's risk by nearly 50 percent. But sleeping for long periods is

 not good either. Women who slept nine hours or more had a 60 percent greater risk of infection than those who slept healthily.
