In this pink month, the most important thing is to raise awareness about the cancer that affects women around the world. To achieve this, we must not only talk about treatments but also about prevention, and for this purpose, today we present our top 5: factors that impact your risk of developing cancer. Keep them in mind and apply them to your daily life.

Your weight

Being overweight can increase your risk of developing cancer by 30 to 60%. The reason is that estrogen is produced by fat cells; the more fat, the more estrogen, and estrogen can lead to the formation of tumors in the body. Try to stay healthy and exercise at least three or four days a week.

Your exercise

Staying healthy through exercise can reduce your chances of contracting this terrible disease. First, exercise creates a better immune system and acts as a natural anti-inflammatory. It is recommended to exercise at least one hour, five days a week; this routine has been shown to protect women who even have inherited genes that could mutate into cancer.

Your drinking habits

Many studies have linked high alcohol consumption with an increased risk of breast cancer. It has been found that drinking between the years of your first period and first pregnancy can lead to tissue damage and, consequently, the onset of cancer.

Your diet

More and more studies indicate that reducing red meat and consuming a higher number of plant-based dishes decreases cancer risk. The power of vegetables is more evident in cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower and broccoli as they balance estrogen levels and reduce body inflammation, both of which are good causes for breast cancer prevention.

Your genes

Women who carry certain genetic mutations are especially prone to developing cancer, and the reality is that it cannot be avoided since it comes from cellular inheritance. What can be achieved is to visit the doctor once a year for a checkup and describe your family medical history. In this way, there will be a collective awareness of your genetic predispositions and a plan to counteract them in time.
