#2 Munch on healthy goodness

Keeping your body safe and protected starts from the inside. Maintain a proper diet of vegetables and fruits, and refrain from too much sugar and fatty foods. Also, as much as possible, stay away from alcohol and smoking.

#3 Get physical

Increasing your physical activity (even when begun later in life) reduces your risk of breast cancer by 10-30%! Keep your body in good shape with everyday exercises like taking the stairs and doing early morning walks.


#4 Be healthy-beautiful, inside and out.

What you put on your body every day can greatly affect you in the long run. Make sure to read the label for harmful chemicals linked to breast cancer such as parabens, aluminum salts, and synthetic fragrances. Make the switch to natural products that are genuinely 100% free from harmful chemicals for healthy, risk-free beauty.
