What can you do to prevent breast cancer?

Breast cancer is a killer of women's health. Bad living habits are often the cause of breast cancer. Therefore, to prevent breast cancer, we must start with our daily living habits.

1. Develop good eating habits

Breastfeeding is recommended in early childhood. During the development period, attention should be paid to balanced nutrition, overeating should be avoided, and fried, grilled and pickled foods should be eaten less; because carcinogenic compounds are formed in foods after cooking oil is heated, which is the killer of cancer. At the same time, more fresh vegetables, fruits, vitamins, carotene, olive oil, fish, etc. should be consumed; eat more legumes such as red beans, soy milk, etc. Soybeans contain isoflavones that have an inhibitory effect on cancer, and the risk of induced breast cancer is less than 15%.

2. Maintain a healthy lifestyle

Establish a healthy daily routine and enforce it vigorously. Ensure that you exercise once a week for 2.5 hours and keep your mood happy. As the saying goes, "Life lies in exercise." Cancer cells are afraid of heat. Keeping exercising every day can effectively prevent the occurrence of cancer. Mental and physical health complement each other and are interrelated. Getting rid of negative emotions is the greatest way to save your breasts.

3. Maintain your weight and avoid obesity

Overweight and obese women have a significantly increased risk of cancer by 7.9%, so avoid high-calorie foods such as hamburgers. Adipose tissue can stimulate considerable estrogen, and the higher the estrogen level, the higher the risk of breast cancer. Increased endogenous estrogen levels in obesity can lead to an increased risk of breast cancer.

4. Quit drinking and smoking

Smoking causes a higher risk of breast cancer than ordinary people, and secondhand smoke is harmful to the body. It is also one of the "culprits" of breast cancer. The nicotine concentration when smoking is much higher than that in the blood. Smoking can cause gene mutations in nipple secretions. Drinking alcohol can secrete estrogen, which can induce the proliferation of cancer cells. Long-term smoking and drinking can cause breast cancer and endanger life.

5. Have a physical examination every year after the age of 30

Regular health check-ups are one of the important means of preventive health care. After the age of 30, the body's metabolism begins to slow down, and all organs are in a sub-healthy state. The habit of sitting for a long time is one of the root causes of various diseases. Some diseases that have long been lurking in the body's organs have no obvious abnormalities. An annual physical examination is conducive to early detection and early treatment, so as not to miss the best treatment period.
