MITIGATING BREAST CANCER RISK

 

Latest studies reveal that lifestyle and diet hold keys to reducing breast cancer risk

Recently a 38 year old corporate professional was diagnosed with breast camcer. She had no direct family history. But her lifestyle had thrown up several red flags.

"She had a sedentary work routine, an improper eating schedule and frequently relied on UPF (Ultra processed foods), apart from regular alcohol intake and occasional smoking."

She is currently undegoing chemotherapy with a surgery to be planned in due course.

It is the broader dietary patterns that appear to influence cancer growth.

"High consumption of red and processed meat, UPFs and refined carbs, along with low intake of fibre, fruits and vegetables can promote chronic inflammation, insulin resistance and hormonal imbalance, all of which are known contributors to cancer surge."

The link between breast cancer incidence, mortality and unhealthy dietary habits is becoming more and more evident.

"Healthier diets, regular physical activity, maintaining normal body weight and limiting alcohol consumption could significantly reduce the future breast cancer burden."

"Hedge where necessary, take exposure where there is an opportunity, cut losses quickly, diversify aggressively with no emotional commitments to any position."
