Apart from the killer lung cancer, breast cancer is known to be a number one enemy that kills more women across the globe every year, than anything else, says a source. Irrespective of how many hours and years of research gets into the study of breast cancer, no hard and fast solutions have been found for the same. However, latest studies done on breast cancer would show what you can do to minimize the risks of having the critical condition in the first place.

No one is sure if vitamin D or soya can bring down the chances of you contracting breast cancer, however it has been proved that no matter how much veggies and fruits you consume, which is good for your waistline and heart, breast cancer cannot be stopped. On the other hand, studies also show when you bring down your weight, when you exercise well and stop alcohol or limit it altogether, the risks are lowered, but research is still on and not proven yet.

Research has shown four ways you could use to lower down the risks of breast cancer and they are;

1. Try to avoid gaining too much of weight in life. This could come as a starter to many women across the globe, especially when most doctors around went telling women, weight gain and breast cancer are not correlated at all. If you are pre-menopausal and not on hormonal pills, you are at risks of getting breast cancer sooner, says a source. Hence don’t be under the misconception that only those who have been overweight would be contracting the dreaded situation.  Most would like to know how extra weight can aid to breast cancer. Studies are being conducted to learn more about the same, says a source. Most say it is safe to blame the whole thing on estrogen. When estrogen travels up and down the bloodstream it helps aggravate the condition of breast cancer. Those who are in the stage of post menopause produce no estrogen at all, which means estrogen thrives on fat cells. If you have plenty of fat cells in you, the levels of estrogen would be higher. But if you take hormonal pills after you hit post menopause, the fat cells would be swamped and there would be little or no effect at large.
2. Try and stay away from hormones, say doctors, who work on breast cancer issues. It was shown in a study that women, who lived on hormones post menopausal stages, had all the chances of contracting breast cancer. Women who lived on placebo during such time, had lesser chances of contracting the same, says a source. When the consumption of hormones took a dip in sales, it was also seen that breast cancer fell down by a margin of twelve percent. Even the tumors that happen because of estrogen came down to fifteen percent. The connection between the two astounded everyone on the medical boards, says a source.
3. Be active and that will help you lower the risks of breast cancer, say doctors. When doctors tested this theory on more than half a million women who suffer from breast cancer, it has been seen that those who engage in leisure activities were actually protecting their breasts more than those who didn’t.
4. Finally, bring down how much of liquor you consume to lower the risks of breast cancer, say experts. Even if you have a drink or two everyday, it is high and could alleviate symptoms on increasing breast cancer, says a source.
