Healthy lifestyle prevents breast cancer

Women can prevent the onset of fatal breast cancer among other things, the adoption of a healthy lifestyle, nutrition, control of alcohol and exercise, says a study.

The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) has recommended, with a half-hour of physical activity per day, limiting alcohol to drink only one day to lose weight and reduce the risk of breast cancer prevention.

"It is very disturbing that Great Britain there are still tens of thousands of cases of breast cancer could be prevented each year. Breast Cancer, drink, drop, more physically active and have less body fat can be avoided , "the Telegraph quoted Dr Rachel Thompson, Deputy Head of information Technology for the World Cancer Research Fund, as I said.

"There is convincing evidence that alcohol increases the risk of breast cancer. In postmenopausal women there is convincing evidence that body fat increases the risk and it is clear that regular physical activity probably reduces the risk of breast cancer, "he added.

Statistics show that 47 600 women developed breast cancer in 2008, a quarter of cancer patients who died later.

However, the World Cancer Research Fund estimates that 42 units would be about 20,000 of these cases, cancer can be prevented if women develop a healthier life.
