How to prevent breast cancer naturally be more secure. The following are tips to prevent breast cancer by nature:

1. Exercise regularly.
Research shows that in line with increased activity, the risk of breast cancer will be reduced. Exercising will lower estrogen levels produced by the body to reduce the risk of breast cancer.

2. Reduce fat.
You must have often heard the clash of opinion on the relationship between breast cancer with fatty foods. Some studies show that low-fat diet help prevent breast cancer. Other studies show that there is no relationship between fat and breast cancer .. The latest research states that the more important is the type of fat is not the amount of fat consumed.
Type of fat that trigger breast cancer is the saturated fat in meat, butter, foods that contain full-cream milk (whole-milk dairy foods) and fatty acids in margarine.
As for the type of fat that helps prevent breast cancer is the unsaturated fats in olive oil and omega-3 in salmon and other cold water fish.
Saturated fats in meat and dairy products and fatty acids in margarine increases estrogen levels in the blood, whereas unsaturated fats in olive oil and omega-3 in fish does not cause an increase in blood estrogen levels.

3.Bila you eat meat, not cooked too well.
Apart from saturated fats found in meat, the way you cook the meat will affect the risk of breast cancer. Meats cooked / baked produce carcinogenic compounds (amino heterocyclic). The longer cooked, the more these compounds are formed. Heterocyclic Amino most numerous in the layers of grilled meat outside (skin) and charred black.

4.Makan more fruits and vegetables.
The more fruits and vegetables you eat, the less risk for all cancers, including breast cancer.
Foods from plants contain anti-oxidants are high, such as vitamins A, C, E and the mineral selenium, which can prevent cell damage that could be causing cancer. National Cancer Institute (NCI) recommends to consume fruits and vegetables at least 5 (five) times a day. But to avoid fruits and vegetables that contain lots of fat, like fried potatoes or banana cream pie.

5. Eat anti-oxidant supplements.
Supplements can not replace fruits and vegetables, but an anti-oxidant formula could be a food additive that can prevent breast cancer.

6. Eat more fiber.
In addition to functioning as anti-oxidants, fruits and vegetables also contain lots of fiber. Fiber foods will bind estrogen in the digestive tract, so the levels in the blood is reduced.

7. Eat more tofu and soy-containing foods.
Foods derived from soy contains plant estrogens (Fito-estrogen). Like tamoxifen, this compound similar to estrogen the body, but much weaker. Fito-estrogen receptor bound to the same cells with estrogen the body, tied it out of breast cells, thereby reducing the effects of breast cancer triggers.
In addition to blocking estrogen the body to reach the cell receptor, soy-containing foods also accelerate the expenditure of estrogen from the body.

8. Eat more beans.
In addition to soy, Fito-estrogen is also present in species other nuts.

9. Avoid alcohol.
Many studies have shown that the more alcohol consumed, the risk of breast cancer increased because of alcohol increases estrogen levels in the blood.

10. Watch your weight.
Weight gain per pound after the age of 18 years will increase the risk of breast cancer. This is because in line with increased body fat, the hormone estrogen as a trigger in the blood of breast cancer will increase.

11. Avoid xeno-Estrogens.
Xeno-estrogen means estrogen that comes from outside the body.
Women taking estrogen from outside the body especially from oestrogenic hormone residues found in meat and residues pesitisida oestrogenic. Suspected xeno-estrogens may increase blood levels of estrogen thereby increasing the risk of breast cancer.
The best way to avoid xeno-estrogen is to reduce the consumption of meat, poultry (chickens, ducks) and dairy products (whole-milk dairy products).
But you do not need to worry about eating lots of fruits and vegetables, because the effect of anti-oxidants and fiber content more than pestisidanya residual effects.

12. Bask in the sun.
The increasing incidence of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) make us afraid of the sun. But a little sunlight can help prevent breast cancer, because at the time the sun on the skin, the body make vitamin D. Vitamin D helps absorb calcium breast tissue, thereby reducing the risk of breast cancer. In order to get the sun for 20 minutes / day, it is recommended to walk under the sun in the afternoon or evening. But if you want to get calcium or vitamin D from the sun is not, you can try to consume food supplements.

13. Do not smoke.
Smoking increases the risk of breast cancer.

14. Breastfeeding / breastmilk to give your child
For reasons still unclear, breastfeeding associated with reduced risk of breast cancer before menopause.

15. Consider again before using hormone replacement therapy (Hormone Replacement Therapy = HRT).
There are several good reasons to do HRT after menopause, which reduces the risk of heart disease, osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease. But HRT will increase the risk of breast cancer. Talk with your doctor and consider the risks that may arise, because most women a higher risk for heart disease than breast cancer.

One more thing that can affect the risk of breast cancer is stressful.
Medical literature states that stress can boost the risk of breast cancer. But research on this is still controversial. But it never hurts to start how to overcome stress in your life through meditasai, yoga, tai chi, gardening or other leisure activities.
