How To Avoid Breast Cancer
Tips to stay away from Breast Cancer~
1) Breast self-examination
Women should begin self-examination at the early age of 20s. Self-examination helps you to identify breast cancer early. Women should do self-examination at least one time a month the week after their period finishes. The women who are no longer menstruating should examine at the starting of every month. If you feel nodes or discomfort, then visit to a doctor for further examination. Self examination process can be found on medical websites but it is best to talk to a doctor and find out the correct process.
2) Mammogram
Mammogram can also help to identify breast cancer early. Women who are older than 40, must get mammogram once a year though there is no cancer in the family. Women should begin mammography in their 30s if their sister or mother had breast cancer before menopause. Mammogram is breast’s x-ray picture. For women, who have no signs or symptoms of breast cancer, screening mammograms are used to check. For women who have lump or other sign or symptom of breast cancer, diagnostic mammograms are used to check.
3) Breastfeed your baby
Breastfeeding is among the most essential ways to prevent breast cancer. Now-a-days most women stay away from breast feeding as they think it will harm their figure but it is very essential to understand that avoiding breast feeding may increase the risk of breast cancer. Women who breastfeed their babies for up to 2 years decrease the breast cancer risk up to 60%. The theory is that breastfeeding decrease the complete menstrual cycle’s number of women over her life and lower the level of estrogen hormone which is related to breast cancer.
4) Maintain healthy weight
Women who are overweight or obese after menopause are at higher risk of developing breast cancer. Before menopause, most of estrogen are created by ovaries and little amount of estrogen are created by fat tissues. After menopause, ovaries discontinue making estrogen so estrogen is created by fat tissues only. After menopause, having more fat tissue means higher estrogen levels which enhance the risk of breast cancer. Women should maintain a BMI below 25.
5) Genetic tests
Only 5 to 10% breast cancers are caused by gene mutations inherited from a parent. If you have been detected with breast cancer, you can look for genetic mutations recognized as BRCA-1 and BRCA-2. The cost of this test is $3,400. Before undergoing the test, you should talk to a genetic counselor, nurse or doctor to clarify the procedure and the results of these tests. Before these tests are done, it is also very essential for you to know pros and cons as well as what these genetic testing can and can't inform you.
6) Exercise
Breast cancer risk is decreased by performing exercise 1/2 an hour 3 times a week. Exercise also helps to burn excess fat, maintain weight and enhance the immune system. Exercise manages the oestrogen levels to stay balanced. Exercise decreased the risk of breast cancer by 20 to 40%. You can do moderate aerobic activity such as brisk walking.
7) Use the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool
Women can use Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool to evaluate her breast cancer risk for the next 5 years and up to age of 90 as well as compare the woman's risk calculation with the average risk for similar age woman. Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool is a computer program which is developed to help health care providers in talking about breast cancer risk with their female patients. You can found The Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool at cancer.gov.
8) Consume low-fat diet
Low-fat diet prevents breast cancer as well as excellent overall health. Low-fat diet also reduces the obesity risk. Reduce the amount of trans fat and saturated fats as they increase the risk of breast cancer. Increase the consumption of monounsaturatedand fish oils. Also include yogurt, low fat milk and cottage cheese in your diet. Consume only 70g fat daily.
9) Avoid high doses of radiation
The risk of breast cancer also increases due to high exposure to radiation. Women who had undergone radiation therapy to the chest part as treatment for Hodgkin's disease or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or for acne are at high risk of developing breast cancer. The risk of developing cancer differs with the age of patient when they had radiation. If the chest radiation was given during teenage years when the breasts were still developing the chances of developing breast cancer is highest. After age of 40, radiation treatment does not increase the risk of breast cancer.
10) Limit alcohol
Limit the use of alcohol as it enhances the risk of developing breast cancer. Alcohol increases the other toxins effect and directly damage DNA which cause cancer. Women who take 1 alcoholic drink increase somewhat chances of developing breast cancer than non-drinkers. Women who take 2 to 5 drinks regularly increase about 1½ times chances of developing breast cancer compared to non-drinkers. Excessive alcohol also enhances the risk of throat, mouth, liver cancer and esophagus cancer. Women should limit the alcohol consumption to 1 drink per day.
11) Consume soy
Consume soybeans and soy products like tofu, tempeh, edamame and miso as they decrease breast cancer risk. Soy contains isoflavones which binds to tissues in the body by obstructing estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. Avoid the consumption of sweetened and refined soy products like soymilk and soy oils.
12) Avoid too much exposure to pesticides and chemicals
Limit exposure pesticides and chemicals as they contain estrogen like properties which lets cells of breast cancer to reproduce quickly. It also lets the disease to spread faster. As per study oder women who exposed to pesticide DDT) and similar compounds had somewhat more risk of developing breast cancer compared to other women.

A touching Hindi Story
तितली का संघर्ष
एक बार एक आदमी को अपने garden में टहलते हुए किसी टहनी से लटकता हुआ एक तितली का कोकून दिखाई पड़ा. अब हर रोज़ वो आदमी उसे देखने लगा , और एक दिन उसने notice किया कि उस कोकून में एक छोटा सा छेद बन गया है. उस दिन वो वहीँ बैठ गया और घंटो उसे देखता रहा. उसने देखा की तितली उसखोल से बाहर निकलने की बहुत कोशिश कर रही है , पर बहुत देर तक प्रयास करने के बाद भी वो उस छेद से नहीं निकल पायी , और फिर वो बिलकुल शांत हो गयी मानो उसने हार मान ली हो.
इसलिए उस आदमी ने निश्चय किया कि वो उस तितली की मददकरेगा. उसने एक कैंची उठायी और कोकून की opening को इतना बड़ा कर दिया की वोतितली आसानी से बाहर निकल सके. और यही हुआ, तितली बिना किसी और संघर्ष के आसानी से बाहर निकल आई, पर उसका शरीर सूजा हुआ था,और पंख सूखे हुए थे.
वो आदमी तितली को ये सोच करदेखता रहा कि वो किसी भी वक़्त अपने पंख फैला कर उड़ने लगेगी, पर ऐसा कुछ भीनहीं हुआ. इसके उलट बेचारी तितली कभी उड़ ही नहीं पाई और उसे अपनी बाकी की ज़िन्दगी इधर-उधर घिसटते हुए बीतानी पड़ी.
वो आदमी अपनी दया और जल्दबाजी में ये नहीं समझ पाया की दरअसल कोकून से निकलने की प्रक्रिया को प्रकृति ने इतना कठिन इसलिए बनाया है ताकि ऐसा करने से तितली के शरीर में मौजूद तरल उसके पंखों में पहुच सके और वो छेद से बाहरनिकलते ही उड़ सके.
वास्तव में कभी-कभी हमारे जीवन में संघर्ष ही वो चीज होती जिसकी हमें सचमुच आवश्यकता होती है. यदि हम बिना किसी struggle के सब कुछ पाने लगे तो हम भी एक अपंग के सामान हो जायेंगे. बिना परिश्रम और संघर्ष के हम कभी उतने मजबूत नहीं बन सकते जितना हमारी क्षमता है. इसलिए जीवन में आने वाले कठिन पलों को सकारात्मक दृष्टिकोण से देखिये वो आपको कुछ ऐसा सीखा जायंगे जो आपकी ज़िन्दगी की उड़ान को possible बना पायेंगे.
