Reducing the risks of breast cancer
Here are some of the ways you can stay healthy and happy
New figures released by the Susan G. Komen Foundation, show that in the USA, every 3 minutes one women is diagnosed with breast cancer. However, when investigating the actual causes for this cancer, it was found that only 5 to 10% of cases could be considered heredity.
The fact that more than 90% of cases are not heredity, is actually very good news. It means that the causes of most breast cancers are perhaps something we can change to reduce the risk.
Latest research sheds light on promising lines of prevention
The key could well be sunlight and natural vitamin D
There are two things that we can do, eating foods that are high in vitamin D, and exposing our skin to sunlight. According to researchers at Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Canada. These could be most effective ways we can reduce our risks of breast cancer.
It's a question of combing the proper foods with getting out under those gold rays of sunlight, the two together will allow your body to produce all the vitamin D it requires. Experts put this at 1,000 IU per day.
The first step is that you'll need some sun. Take the time twice a week to go out into the sunshine, were you can really expose your skin, your face, arms and even back to the sun for about 10 or 15 minutes. This will let your skin absorb the sunlight and allow it to start creating vitamin D.
The second step is to include foods that are high in vitamin D, to your diet. These includes foods such as eggs, mushrooms, bee pollen, salmon, mackerel and sardines. However, the case for taking vitamin D supplements has not been made, as research is yet to show if these supplements are as effective as vitamin D from foods or sunlight.
Along side this, there are a few additional things you can do that may help cut the risks of breast cancer as well as improving your overall health:
