1, how to prevent breast cancer
(1) Multiple motions
Regular exercise for a long time. In all walks of life, athletes have the lowest incidence of breast cancer. They do a lot of exercise every day, consume excess fat, have no fat, and keep estrogen at a low level in their bodies. Of course, they will not be "infected" with breast cancer. Some people abroad have done statistics. Women of childbearing age take an average of 4 hours of physical exercise every week, and the risk of breast cancer will be reduced by 60%.
(2) Avoid drinking alcohol
Drinking is much more harmful to women than to men. Women who drink alcohol have a higher risk of breast cancer than those who rarely drink alcohol. People who drink 1 cup or more every day have a higher risk of breast cancer than those who rarely drink, which is most significant among premenopausal women. At present, alcohol can stimulate the secretion of prolactin in the anterior pituitary gland, which is related to the occurrence of breast cancer. Therefore, women, especially those before and after menopause, should give up drinking or drink less.
(3) Keep in shape
Excessive intake of high-sugar and high-fat foods and frequent drinking will lead to excessive fat storage in women, thus stimulating estrogen secretion, and the accumulation of a large amount of estrogen will increase the incidence of breast cancer. Therefore, to reduce the risk of breast cancer, it is necessary to control the estrogen level in the body, and to control the hormone level, it is necessary to go on a diet-eat more vegetables, eat more fish, eat less barbecue, and drink less alcohol to ensure that it is good for you.
(4) refusing to stay up late
Nowadays, many women also enter the workplace, and some even work overtime and stay up late every day, which will not only bring annoying skin problems, but also increase the probability of breast cancer.
Danish scientists have found that women who work night shifts are more likely to get breast cancer, and the longer they work night shifts, the more likely they are to get breast cancer. This is because artificial light inhibits the secretion of melatonin in the body, and the decrease of melatonin level will promote the secretion of estrogen. Therefore, if you want to stay away from breast cancer, you must not stay up late, have a good sleep every night, and have a "beauty sleep" with health care.
2. Foods to prevent breast cancer
(1) carrot
Carrots are rich in carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A after intake. Vitamin A can maintain the normal structure and function of human epithelial tissue, make it difficult for carcinogens to invade, stimulate the body's immune system, mobilize the body's anti-cancer ability, and at the same time affect the metabolism of carcinogens, which has a biological antagonistic effect on carcinogens and is especially suitable for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer.
(2) Broccoli
Broccoli is a very common vegetable, rich in vitamin C, carotenoid fiber, calcium and folic acid. Moreover, studies have confirmed that sulforaphane and indole -3- methanol in broccoli are super anticancer substances, which can spread and regenerate cancer cells and effectively prevent breast cancer.
(3) Mushrooms
Mushroom is a natural biological response regulator and a powerful immune system regulator, which can greatly enhance human immunity. In particular, the rich trace element selenium contained in mushrooms has selective killing and inhibiting effects on cancer cells. Some American medical experts advise women to eat mushrooms 4-5 times a week to prevent breast cancer.
(4) kelp
Kelp is not only rich in vitamin E and dietary fiber, but also contains trace element iodine. Scientists believe that iodine deficiency is one of the pathogenic factors of breast cancer, so regular consumption of kelp is helpful to prevent breast cancer.
(5) garlic
Garlic can not only prevent breast cancer, but also treat breast cancer/ovarian cancer. This is because garlic is rich in a substance, which has obvious inhibitory and killing effects on the formation of breast cancer cells. The function of this substance is to activate and enhance the human immune system, not only to promote the growth of normal cells, but also to achieve the goal of eliminating breast cancer/ovarian cancer cells.
3. Who is prone to breast cancer?
1, family history of breast cancer. Epidemiological investigation shows that 5% ~ 10% of breast cancer is familial. Especially among mothers or sisters, if they have breast cancer, then this family belongs to a high-risk group, and the risk of illness is 2 ~ 3 times higher than that of the general population.
2. Early menarche and late menopause. People whose first menstruation is before 12 years old and whose menopause is after 55 years old belong to high-risk groups. Their risk of breast cancer is 1 ~ 2 times higher than that of the general population, because breast exposure to estrogen is too long, which is easy to cause breast cancer.
3, single, late childbirth, not breastfeeding. The incidence of breast cancer in women who have not given birth or have given birth after 35 years old is higher than that in women who have given birth before 30 years old. At present, one of the most certain risk factors of breast cancer determined by medical circles is infertile women, because they lack the protection of progesterone and are more vulnerable to excessive estrogen stimulation. In addition, breastfeeding can reduce the risk of breast cancer in women. A study in Britain shows that the longer a woman breastfeeds, the smaller the risk of breast cancer in the future.
4, high-fat diet, obesity. Excessive intake of high-protein and high-fat foods will lead to an increase in estrogen levels and increase the risk of breast cancer. Studies have shown that the risk of breast cancer in obese people is 1 ~ 1.5 times higher than that in normal weight people, and the risk of breast cancer spread is twice as high. If postmenopausal women are overweight or obese, their risk of breast cancer will increase by 30%.
5. Chronic stress and depression. Young urban women are facing fierce competitive pressure, and their spirits are in a state of stress and tension for a long time, which leads to emotional instability and disharmony. In addition, they often stay up late and work overtime, and their bodies are not fully rested. This unhealthy lifestyle will lead to endocrine disorders, and it will also do some harm to the breast and increase the risk of breast cancer.
6. Long-term estrogen therapy. Women who receive estrogen therapy for a long time, such as menopausal hormone replacement therapy or other hormone replacement therapy, will have an increased risk of breast cancer.
7, breast hyperplasia. Benign hyperplasia of mammary glands generally does not become malignant, but those who are older, have a long medical history, have larger lumps and have no obvious relationship with menstruation may become malignant, so they should go to the hospital in time.
