We chalk out nine
everyday habits that will help you avoid chest
cancer completely.
Keep a tab on your weight - Women are more
inclined to get chest cancer after they hit
menopause. Generally, at this time in their lives,
they tend to ignore themselves completely and as
a result, put on a lot of weight. So if you want to
avoid getting chest cancer, maintain a healthy
weight in your late 40s (preferably a body-mass
index under 25).
Add greens and fruits to your diet - While junk
food certainly seems appetizing, your bad calorie
count increases. So ditch the fast food and focus on
healthy food. Include more raw veggies and fruits
in your diet to boost antioxidants and keep disease
away.
Wear the right bra size - An ill-fitting garment is
not only unattractive but also risky. Wear the right
bra, which allows your skin to breathe.
Self-examination - You know your body like
nobody else, so always check for any swellings,
dimples on your chest. Women should examine
their br**sts regularly.
Check family history - You can be susceptible to
chest cancer if your family has a history of chest
cancer. So check your families medical history, 10
per cent of all chest cancers in the world are
genetically transferred.
Ditch the alcohol - Alcohol use is associated with
an increased risk of chest cancer. Women should
limit their intake to not more than one drink per
day. It is often the unrestrained copious amount
that causes trouble regardless of the type of
alcohol.
Kick that b*tt - Smoking is associated with more
than one type of cancer; cancer risk posed by
smoking is real for both women and men.
chest-feed your child - Women who chest-feed
their babies for at least a year in total have a
reduced risk of developing chest cancer later on in
life. chest-feeding, temporarily reduces a woman's
estrogen levels.
Have regular check-ups and cancer screening
tests - A regular check-up after the age of 30 is
important; it's pertinent that you know what your
body is going through and how well you can take
care of it. Regular mammography and sonography
should be a part of your check-up routine.
