When it comes to preventing beast cancer there is no magic solution and no guarantee. But you reduce your risk. It is never too early, nor to late to begin, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle and body weight throughout your lifetime are key. Here are four steps to follow: 1. Eat a well balanced diet: Open your mind to whole grains, fruit and vegetables. Strike a healthy balance from all food groups and avoiding foods high in fat and sugar. 2. Get Active and stay that way: Go for a walk, a workout or cycle. Do what you enjoy and do it for at least 30 minutes/day, at least 5 times a week. 3. What you drink: The more alcohol you consume, the greater your risk. Limit your intake to one alcoholic drink or less per day. 4. Do not start smoking and if you do smoke, quit.
