Frequently Asked Questions about Breast Cancer:

Does Physical Activity Reduce The Risk Of Breast Cancer?

A woman who exercises four hours per week reduces her risk of breast cancer. Exercise pumps up the immune system and cuts the estrogen level.

Eat a low-fat, nutritious diet. A high-fat diet increases the risk of breast cancer since fat triggers the hormone estrogen that fuels tumor growth. Fill your diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables.

Most studies have not found smoking to cause breast cancer. One recent study indicated there might be a link. Studies of the relationship of breast cancer to cigarette smoking and second-hand cigarette smoke are still under study. However, smoking decreases your survival rate once you have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
