Top 10 Hale and hearty Tips for Breast Cancer Prevention

It is every woman's duty to take care of their health. Here are some tips to protect your breasts from cancer.



Exercise Regularly: "Keep moving every day". Exercise is your best friend when it comes to any health-related problem. The more you sweat, the more calories you burn and this helps you stay healthy.

Go for regular checkups: Visit your doctor every now and then, especially if you have any doubts. This is not a condition where you can think and postpone your doctor visit to the next month or even later. The earlier you get diagnosed, the earlier you will save yourself!

Know your family history: It is important to know your family history, because most cancers are hereditary. If anyone in your family suffers or has suffered from cancer, then you are prone to a high risk.

Encourage breast feeding: If you are a new mom, do not stop breast feeding for any reason. Breast feeding makes you and your baby stay healthy and energized. Besides giving good nutrition to the baby, it also helps to keep your breasts in good physical shape.

Choose the right food: Food plays a vital role for any problems we might have. Avoid charred meat, unfermented soy products, genetically engineered foods and sugar. Try to consume a good amount of iodine, foods rich in Vitamin A and D and naturally fermented food.

Reduce Stress: Stress is a waste of time - just try to relax! Engage yourselves in stuff that makes you feel busy. Stress is your health's biggest enemy and the very best friend of all diseases.

Quit smoking: As everyone knows, drinking and smoking support and help cancer survive in our body. Quit smoking and alcohol today and protect yourself from this disease.

Focus on your weight: Studies show that women who have gained too much weight since the age of 18 are more likely to develop breast cancer. When you reach high obese levels then you are at a high risk. It is always considered safe to check on your weight scale and BMI rate.

Get a mammogram done: This is the best way to detect breast cancer. Some may say it has potential risks, but in the end, it gives an accurate result like no other method out there. It is recommended to do this type of screening every year.

Enough Sleep: Getting a good night sleep helps you stay healthy. Continuous 8 hours of sleep make the human mind and body feel fresh and relaxed. Some people don't give it much credit but they should. Consult your doctor today and discuss this to get the right solution and stay on a safer side.

Breast Cancer Awareness, Signs and Symptoms

Breast cancer is cancer that forms in the cells of the breasts. After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the United Kingdom. Breast cancer can occur in both men and women, but it’s far more common in women. Substantial support for breast cancer awareness and  Breast Cancer Research Aid  has helped created advances in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Breast cancer survival rates have increased, and the number of deaths associated with this disease is steadily declining, largely due to factors such as earlier detection, a new personalized approach to treatment and a better understanding of the disease. Knowing how your breasts normally look and feel is an important part of breast health. Finding breast cancer as early as possible gives you a better chance of successful treatment. But knowing what to look for does not take the place of having regular mammograms and other screening tests. Screening tests can help find breas...

7 Key Cancer Trends For 2018 | Breast Cancer Research Aid

Issues that will affect the lives of cancer patients in 2018 1. Less chemotherapy A recent report finds that among patients with the most common form of early-stage breast cancer, chemotherapy prescriptions slid, overall, from around 34.5% to 21.3%, in a recent 2-year interval (2013-2015). That’s a huge drop, from over a third of women with stage 1 or 2 disease getting chemo, to just over a fifth taking chemo. This trend is impressive and credible in context of growing discussion and awareness of overtreatment and (although authors of this particular study found no link) wider use and acceptance, among oncologists, of recurrence predictors like OncotypeDx and MammaPrint. The shift for breast cancer is clear. Whether this pattern will emerge and extend to other and less-tracked malignancies, I’m not sure. Probably it will happen variably, by tumor type, and more in the future. 2. More prescription of novel anti-cancer agents Doctors increasingly prescribe targeted drugs f...

Brave leader in breast cancer support

Image
The more than 500 women who over 20 years were members of the Breast Cancer Charity Support Group of the Bone Marrow Donor Institute, a support group Avis Macphee founded in 1994, will best remember her for her support, friendship, sense of humour, enjoyment of life and willingness to engage in their struggles and provide information to assist us to make treatment decisions. Avis convened meetings in which women revealed diagnoses, planned funerals, mourned the loss of relationships and their hair, exchanged notes on their treating physicians, shared black humour and then laughed afterwards over pasta and garlic bread in a Lygon Street restaurant. The partners of some of those women who died will remember Avis as the woman who offered support and caring and an invitation to dinner after the death of the partner. She was the one who stayed in touch. Researchers will recall Avis as the tireless, well-informed advocate who educated them about the perspectives and experience of w...
