Breast Cancer—Be Gone!

Every year, the estimated number of cases of breast cancer exceeds 200,000 in the U.S. Of these cases, it is estimated that more than 40,000 deaths will occur from this invasive disease. It is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women. The burdens of breast cancer can sneak into every aspect of life, causing physical, emotional, and economic distress. One recent study found that 25% of breast cancer survivors have long-term financial problems.

What if there was a simple, natural, cheap way to prevent breast cancer? One of the most underestimated risk factors for breast cancer is lack of physical activity. A recent review of all past research looking into breast cancer and exercise found that more than 1 hour of physical activity each day can reduce a women’s risk for breast cancer significantly.

According to the review, it doesn’t matter how old you are, how much you weigh, or how old you were when you start to get active. In other words, it’s never too late (even past menopause)! Why not try to increase your level of activity even in modest amounts? Regular aerobic exercise, for example, can decrease your risk of breast cancer.

While you’re working hard to prevent breast cancer, you’ll really be fighting off many other cancers and diseases (such as heart disease) that have already been found to be less common in those who are physically active.

Keep your refrigerators brimming with antioxidant-rich foods (such as broccoli, garlic, green tea, berries, walnuts, citrus fruits) and your pantries dry of processed foods.
