Reduce Breast Cancer Risk By Diet

Breast cancer risk can reduce by the right diet and prevent it recurrence after the treatment while also improve and increase the survival chance. Is it right? Unfortunately, we are not sure about this.

People who eat a lot of vegetables and fruits can reduce the risks of breast cancer and there is no answer about these although fruits and vegetables full of anti-oxidants and cancer fighting nutrients. So there is no doubt that in the market there are a lot of nutritional supplements which is use to prevent the risks about this. Always consult the doctor before adding vitamins to your diet while on prescription medications.

The prevention diet not only help to maintain a healthy weight while being overweight will cause the developing of the diseases and it is the primary risk factors. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables which are low in calories will help the person loss weight and improve nutritional status at the same time.

Limit the consumption of alcohol which no more than one drink per day which is also one of the prevention and do a 30 minutes exercise are highly recommend because it is highly protective of the breast and increase the survival chances for women.

As we know that not only women will face this problem but men also will face the same issue . The chances for men are less than 1 percent for this cases. Maintain a healthy lifestyle and adding additional vitamins, the consultation from doctor and professional health care provider are very important to avoid it happened.



Breast Cancer And Bras

Many women will think about that whether wearing bras to bed can cause for breast cancer. According to the research, the answer is "no" because it will only happened when the cells inside the body growth and the case normally happened without notice which means they only will know after do the screening.

For women, wearing bras not only build up a confident to themselves and also include their image. No matter they wearing the bras day, night or both, will not cause anything happened. But the chances of getting this still exist when women gets older, family history in the breast cancer, age and etc.

Worn a too tight bras will cause red marks or indentation and the longer the bras are worn, the chances of damage breast tissue will be more. Try to worn as loose as possible, less than 12 hours daily and never go to bed to reduce the breast cysts, pain and cancer. Besides that, women who wear their bras to the bed, which means 24/7 wearing the bras will have 75% of developing the breast cancer.

In order to prevent the breast tissue of toxins (some of which cause cancer), people should avoid the unhealthy lifestyle such as smoking, alcohol and etc and seek the information from the doctor about the risk of breast cancer and they will be happy to share and discuss about this with them. For those who may concerns about this issue may consider consultation from a professional fitting to ensure they are wearing the right size bras.

Remain Risk with Pre Cancer Lesions

Women who have been treated for early signs of cervical cancer have a high risk of the disease decades later, say Swedish researchers.

Regular smear tests should be offered to those with pre-cancerous lesions for at least 25 years, they said.

Current guidelines for UK women who have been treated for the condition called carcinoma-in-situ recommend annual screening for 10 years.

The study of 133,000 women is published in the British Medical Journal.

Cervical screening is offered to women in the UK at three-year intervals between the ages of 25 and 49 and then every five years until the age of 64 years.

It is done to pick up changes to cells in the surface layer of the cervix which may later develop into cancer. If abnormal cells are detected they can be monitored, destroyed or removed.


The Analysis

Swedish researchers looked at data on women who had been diagnosed with the most severe pre-cancerous lesions, commonly known as carcinoma-in-situ in between 1958 and 2002.

They found the women were more than twice as likely to develop cervical cancer as the general female population and seven times more likely to develop vaginal cancer.

The risk remains for 20 years or more, the results suggest.

They also found that there was an increasing risk of cervical cancer if the woman was older at the time of diagnosis, with a much higher risk for women aged over 50.

Study leader, Dr Bjorn Strander, senior consultant in obstetrics and gynaecology at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, said: "It must be considered a failure of the medical service when women participate in screening, their pre-cancerous lesions are found and they subject themselves to treatment of those lesions, presumably participate in follow-up programmes, and still develop invasive cancer."

He added that follow-up care had to date been insufficient and women should be offered screening at regular intervals for at least 25 years after treatment.

Dr Anne Szarewski, honorary senior lecturer at the Cancer Research UK Centre for Epidemiology, Mathematics and Statistics in London, said less aggressive treatments for cervical abnormalities had been used in the past 20 years, which may have left women more at risk of developing cancer in the long-term.

But she said that the risk had to be balanced against the huge advantages for most women of avoiding hysterectomy and other treatments which would impair their fertility.

"It should be remembered that the majority of women who are found to have high grade cervical abnormalities are in their 30s and early 40s, a time when they may have not completed or even started - their family.

She said the issue of longer-term follow up of these women should certainly be considered.

"We need to think about whether women will find this reassuring but also up to what age they would be willing to undergo screening."

Vinegar againts Cancer

Although apple cider vinegar cannot use as medical cure for cancer, it's valuable ally to have around to help fight free radicals in the body, which have been shown to be indicative in the formation of various cancers. Beta-carotene found in apple cider vinegar, is a powerful antioxidant, which can use as the alternative medicine for helps neutralizing the free radicals, formed in our bodies through oxidation.

To prevent these free radicals and to keep them in check, we need antioxidants in our system to rid our bodies of these potentially dangerous compound. If free radicals are left alone to have the run of our bodies, they cause major damage by severely damaging cells, which leads to aging and degeneration

The pectin in apple cider vinegar adds fiber to the diet and even the American Cancer Society promotes a high fiber diet to help with preventing cancer, especially colon cancer. The reason for this is that fiber binds with certain cancer causing (carcinogenic) compounds in the colon and speeds up their elimination from the body
