While there is no sure way for a woman to avoid breast cancer, a healthy lifestyle may reduce the risk for breast cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other cancers. It is important to make health lifestyle choices. All women should try to:
- Be physically active
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Cut down on "bad" fats (saturated and trans fat) and try to eat more "good" fats (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated, like canola or olive oil)
- Limit alcohol consumption to 1 drink per day
- Choose to breast feed your child instead of using formula
It is never too late to begin leading a healthy lifestyle. Choosing to become physically active, eating better and healthier has both positive physical and mental benefits.
