With all the recent media hype about women choosing preventative mastectomies to avoid breast cancer, it’s hard to know what to believe, let alone what you yourself can do to prevent breast cancer.
Surgical removal of your breasts in the absence of disease is a radical choice that’s not appropriate for the vast majority of women. There are several factors that have a major impact on your risk of breast cancer that you can control without going under the knife.
A new research study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that women with low Vitamin D have an increased risk for developing breast cancer.
Also, here are additional lifestyle factors that significantly increase your risk of developing breast cancer:
- Drinking more than one alcoholic drink per day
- Using the Birth Control Pill or Hormone Replacement therapy
