Every year the month of October is designated as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. With nearly 50,000 deaths annually from the disease it is something that every individual needs to be aware of and proactive about. Despite common misconceptions, this is not a disease that strikes only women. There are thousands of men diagnosed each and every year. Just like most other types of cancers, there is not a set nutritional answer to either preventing or treating breast cancer. However there are suggestions and guidelines that can be followed to make yourself more healthy as it has been determined that nearly one third of all cancer deaths were a result of lifestyle factors. These lifestyle factors include such things as obesity, inactivity, and nutrition.
Guidelines To Potentially Reduce Cancer Risks Include...
*Maintain a healthy weight
*Be active and exercise 30-60 minutes at least 5 days a week
*Increase the consumption of vegetable and other plant based foods such as fruits and whole grains
*Limit alcohol consumption
*Limit salt and fat contents within food items
