Good breast health is very necessary for a woman to avoid the risks of getting breast diseases, most particularly breast cancer. But there are some common mistakes most women make without knowing that they contribute to the threats of breast diseases.
According to Cleveland clinc, here are mistakes women make that can affect their breasts health.
Excess alcohol consumption
Women who drink alcohol have a higher risk of breast cancer compared to those who do not drink. According to research, a woman who drinks 2-3 glasses of alcohol a day sees the risk of breast cancer goes up by 20 percent. The level of estrogens in the body reduces with alcohol consumption and it increases the risk of cancer.
Lack of exercise
Adopt an active lifestyle. Aim for 30 minutes or more of moderate aerobic activity at least five days per week.
Not consuming enough vitamin D
While it may not seem like an obvious connection, certain foods can also play a part when it comes to breast health. According to a study from Marshall University done in mice, it’s thought that walnuts might help keep breast cancer tumours at bay. Along with food, vitamins and supplements can also support breast health.
Exposing yourself to too many chemicals in the form of cosmetics
Most women use too many cosmetic products containing certain chemicals that increase their chances of developing breast diseases. This happens because often these chemicals tend to disturb the hormonal balance of the body by mimicking or blocking certain hormones.
