There are a number of simple ways to reduce your risk of breast cancer including;
1) Just by switching to a new morning brew and your chances of ever getting the disease is cut by 22%. That's right, a study performed at Boston University Schools of Medicine and Public Health demonstrated that drinking green tea encourages cancer cells to self-destruct. The antioxidants in green tea are 100 times more powerful than vitamin C.
2) Choose pesticide-free veggies and fruits from organic farms. Some pesticides mimic estrogen and could potentially promote the growth of cancer cells.
3) All those cooking shows are right, EVVO or extra-virgin olive oil use reduces breast cancer risk by 45%. The oleic acid in olive oil helps to destroy cancer genes responsible for breast cancer.
4) Another powerful cancer fighting oil is flaxseed oil. A study out of France suggested that postmenopausal women supplementing with flaxseed oil (two 1,00mg capsules daily) resuced their risk by 30%. If you're on blood thinners do not take flaxseed oil as it can increase the medications effects.
5&6) Other vitamins that help protect against breast cancer are vitamins E & A. Vitamin E has been shown to slow the growth of breast cancer by 50%, while lab studies of vitamin A demonstrated potent antioxidant capabilties that destroyed existing cancer cells. (vitamin E-30-50mg daily, vitmain A-700 mcg).
7) Eat more curry and reduce the growth of cancers (75-98%) that are caused by certain eastrogens and chemicals. Curcumin is the responsible substance for lowering cancer growth and is found in curry.
8) Finally, let's not forget the exercise. The Women's Health Initiative study found that brisk walking reduces your odds of developing breast cancer by 18%. Standford University also found that women who wear a pedometer to measure distance walked, typically walk 2,000 more steps a day than those who don't wear one. Therefore they further cut their cancer risk and shed a few more pounds in the process.
