Preventing Breast Cancer Made Easy

There are several ways we can go about breast cancer prevention. One is to ensure we get enough rest, to give our body the time it needs to grow and regenerate. Another way is to have a healthy diet plan, rich in oats, fiber and vegetables. But the most important method of breast cancer prevention is exercise.

It is commonly known that exercise does not have to be a two mile run or hours spent at the gym, however when it comes to exercise we are very good at finding excuses no to, even though we know it will benefit us. Common ones include: "It's too early, it's too late, I'm tired, my feet hurt, my whole body hurts, I'm hungry," but really if we stop and think, we are short-changing our bodies and in doing so, potentially shortening our lives.

The recommended minimum amount of exercise is 30 minutes a day. Exercise can be anything from walking, to swimming, to yoga to weight lifting. The main thrust here is to do it with consistency. What you are trying to do is develop a habit that will aid in keeping you health, strong and cancer free.

It is interesting to note that the benefits of exercise are not impacted by your weight. Exercise, no matter what form it takes is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle as a stronger body will lead to a stronger immune system. When started at an early age, the benefits are enormous. And if your exercise routine is kept up as you progress through your forties and fifties, you will have a much lesser risk of developing breast cancer than those that don't exercise. In short, you can use pills but the best breast cancer prevention is the one that comes from your own efforts.
