Tips To Help You Prevent Breast Cancer

12 Tips To Help You Prevent Breast Cancer

Today (November 7th, 2015) I am presenting handwriting analyses (Yes, besides offering people protection via insurance products, I am also a graphologist) at Women Rock in Duluth Minnesota. 

Since the event is about Anti Breast Cancer (Breast Cancer Awareness) I wanted to have some tips about prevention. I came across this informative article by Dr. Manisha Ghei. I think you may find it very interesting and if you do, please CLICK HERE to read all the parts I had to leave out because I just did not have enough room in this post. Here it is, please pass this information on to someone you love! 

We really are what we eat, drink, breathe, think, and cannot eliminate! While food most certainly is to be regarded as the best medicine, it can also be the biggest poison. When there's diminished elimination of physical and emotional toxins, they build up, which may lead to DNA damage and ultimately cancer.

Some of the best strategies for breast cancer prevention are:

1. Food is always first!

Eat antioxidant-rich foods like organic fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, and healthy fats and oils like avocado and extra virgin olive oil. Eliminate sugar from your diet in every shape or form.

2. Quit smoking.

… smokers have a 24% higher risk and former smokers have a 13% higher risk of invasive breast cancer than non-smokers.

3. Avoid alcohol.

Alcohol changes the way estrogen is metabolized in our body, which can lead to estrogen dominance.

4. Consume a diet low in animal-based foods.

Animal-based products are extremely inflammatory and expose the body to a high dose of arachidonic acid, an inflammatory mediator. Fill half your plate with veggies!

5. Exercise regularly and develop a yoga practice.

 Yoga balances and regulates the endocrine system, and thus our hormones.

6. Do regular breast self-exams and breast massage.

Get clinical breast exams at your yearly physicals, and mammograms if appropriate.

7. Maintain the right body composition and fat percentage of your body.

Obesity and visceral adipose tissue (VAT, i.e., the fat accumulated around your abdominal organs) are extremely inflammatory!

8. Reduce other inflammation-causing issues in your body.

It's important to get tested for food sensitivities and eliminate from your diet all foods to which you may have allergies or sensitivities.

9. Avoid toxins.

These can take the form of:

• Inflammatory foods that are filled with trans fats, artificial coloring and preservatives.
• Household cleaning chemicals, pesticides and insecticides.
• BPA-containing plastics, which can be used for storing food and water.
• Personal care products and perfumes: these may contain hormone-disrupting chemicals like pthalates and parabens.

10. Consume a good-quality protein at each meal.

Your body needs essential amino acids at every step to function optimally.

11. Balance mind, body and emotions with meditation, breath control and emotional freedom exercises.

Here are a few tips:

• Meditate daily.
• Learn and practice yogic breathing exercises.
• Practice forgiveness every day!
• Journal before going to bed to detoxify the mind.

12. Sleep is your best friend!

If you suffer from chronic sleep issues, work with your physician to find the underlying cause and correct it. Using drugs isn't the answer!
