Breast Cancer Prevention

Writer's picture: Andres JimenezAndres Jimenez


Breast cancer is a major health issue affecting millions of people worldwide. In the United States, it is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women, and it's the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. Globally, it remains a significant cause of mortality, claiming thousands of lives each year. However, breast cancer can be preventable with the right measures.


Several risk factors contribute to the development of breast cancer. Some are non-modifiable, such as age, gender, and family history. However, there are many factors within our control that can significantly lower the risk. Lifestyle choices like diet, physical activity, and mental health play a crucial role. For instance, maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active, and limiting alcohol intake can help reduce the risk.


To reduce your risk of breast cancer, consider incorporating these two lifestyle changes:


  • Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess body weight, particularly after menopause, can increase the risk of breast cancer. Focus on balanced nutrition and regular physical activity to maintain a healthy weight.

  • Limit Alcohol Intake: Alcohol consumption is linked to an increased risk of breast cancer. Aim to limit your alcohol intake to no more than one drink per day, if you choose to drink at all.


Additionally, early detection is key to preventing severe outcomes. We recommend regular breast cancer screenings starting at age 40, or earlier if you have a family history of breast cancer. Mammograms are an essential tool for early detection, allowing for treatment at the earliest and most treatable stage.
