Breast cancer is the commonest cancer of women in the world. It can happen to anybody, young or old, married or single. One in 5 women is at the risk of developing breast cancer in her lifetime in USA. In India the incidence is slightly lower but it is increasing.
Prevention gives the best chance of cure. You can beat the cancer by being cautious and detecting it early. Remember cancer starts as a painless lump in the breast and you have the best chance of detecting it yourself. By Breast self examination ( BSE). This is how you can do It:
These include: maintaining a high daily consumption of a variety of vegetables and fruits, maintain a normal body weight and being physically active throughout life, choosing oils and fats that you eat with care, enjoy a diet low glycemic index by choosing whole grains instead of refined flours and sugars, avoid environmental toxins (including alcohol and charred flesh), decide to breastfeed your baby, and complement your healthy diet with antioxidants like green tea.
Monthly breast self-exams are also an important strategy, and I recommend it to all women in the teenage years onwards, but not because it reduces the risk of breast cancer. Self exams are important because they have the potential for discovering tumors at a smaller stage in which prior treatment outcomes and survival may be better. Mammograms are routinely recommended for the same reason, and the best current evidence supports the use of regular screening mammograms for early detection, potentially treatable disease.
Now that you know how important is exercise in preventing breast cancer, shut this computer off and go for a walk. It's easy to get started. If you're at work or home, in the city or the suburbs - wherever you are - at this time, start with a simple walk. If you are disabled, go for a roll. Just move. And they do every day. Do it for the family who depends on you for much.
And if you need more inspiration on how exercise can beat breast cancer, be sure to participate in next year's Running for the cure. Help raise funds for breast cancer research while walking among actual survivors.
Raising funds for the Breast Cancer in Melbourne, Australia
May 7, 2010, Melbourne, Australia, 10 000 people dressed in pink clothing arranged in a woman's image, raise funds for the Breast Cancer Network Australia.
There were 14,000 people in the mass formation, which stretched the length of the field – representing the number of women diagnosed with breast cancer every year in Australia.

Risk factors for breast cancer
1.Genetic: with a family history of hereditary breast cancer can be manifested in two forms: one for mothers with breast cancer, her daughter has also been identified in breast cancer; However, in a family, at least two sisters suffering from breast cancer, this family The incidence of breast cancer than those without family history of breast cancer in families 2-3 times higher.
2.menarche at 12 years of age, the risk of breast cancer than 17 years of age of menarche large 2.2; menopause later than 50 years of age, after more than 45 years of menopause were at increased risk of breast cancer 1 times .
3.Normal spontaneous abortion does not increase the risk of breast cancer, but repeated abortions, or 18-year-old abortion many times before, who easily lead to breast disease, increased risk of breast cancer.
4.Breastfeeding is the best natural means of prevention of breast cancer, breast health breast cancer risk can reduced by 20% to 30%.
5.Poor quality of life: breast disease and is closely related to sexual life, sexual repression of women can increase breast lobular hyperplasia and risk of breast cancer incidence.
6.Depression: Long-term stimulated by negative emotions, the body of life rhythm is disorder, the neuroendocrine system is dysfunction, leading to an imbalance within the environment, decreased immunity allows the production and release of thymus thymosin decreased lymphocytes, macrophages mutant cells in vivo phagocytic activity decreased monitoring capacity and prone to cancer.

Warning! Breast cancer patients not pregnant
The majority of women breast cancer is a serious threat to physical and mental health of common disease in the world, the incidence rate among women in the second cancer.
To prevent cancer recurrence in breast cancer patients, is very concerned about how to consolidate the curative effect, sub-conditioning and physical exercise, pregnancy, however, it is often overlooked.
Studies show that pregnant women, breastfeeding women, once breast cancer, disease spread early metastasis, rapid progression, poor treatment, lack of clinical experience in some of vigorous anti-cancer treatment, cancer patients have been satisfied with the control, due to pregnancy cause cancer revived. Some have not yet been brought under control in the treatment of cancer stage of pregnancy, due to surging estrogen levels during pregnancy, caused by residual tumor cells revived, rapid growth and reproduction, and through multi-channel expansion.
Human normal cells and abnormal cancer cells, contain a hormone combined with the material, called hormone receptors. Hormone receptors need to work with, for healthy people, it can play a normal physiological function, the conditions for those who already have health cancer, can promote the cancer process; for cancer patients, will accelerate the progress of cancer, breast cancer cells have estrogen hormone receptor positive and negative in others, positive for the estrogen-dependent breast cancer, these patients after conception, due to elevated levels of estrogen stimulation, can easily lead to illness nosedive and get out of hand.
In view of this, to remind women of childbearing age, even 40 years old, if not yet menopausal, are required to adhere to contraception. Method to use contraceptives or sterilization is appropriate, should not take, subcutaneous or intramuscular hormonal contraceptives.
