October is the breast cancer awareness month so it is important for women of all age group know what precautions to take to keep away this killer disease. The precautions can definitely help in cutting down the chances of developing the irregular division of cells. The change in the living style can make a big difference to health.
Simple Precautions For Breast Cancer 

1. Diet – If you are a little confused on what is food got to do with breasts, then yes, it has everything to do. Choosing food for the body means the right amount of nutrition that is required in a day's meal. It is said that soy and flax seed produces a chemical called phytoestrogen which prevents breast cancer.

Avoiding carcinogens like cigarettes, alcohol and junk foods will maintain the body weight thus reduce the risk of cancer.

2. Fitness – Obesity is one of the common reasons for breast cancer. Maintaining the body weight will keep women healthy, active and fit. Sticking to a low fat diet is the best breast cancer precaution.

3. Rethink About Artificial Treatments – Ask doctors and they say that women who undergo botox and other hormone replacement therapy are more prone to breast cancer than women who do not get these treatments. The hormone treatments are generally prescribed for menopause women (mainly deal with estrogen and progestin) being one of the high risks of the killer disease. Apart from the therapies, the over intake of birth control pills are also possibilities for breast cancer.

4. Breast Examination – Before going in for any treatment it is best to self-examine your breasts. Any lumps or pain or variation in skin colour can be associated to cancer. Getting a clinical breast examination annually will be a good breast cancer precautionary measure.
