Learn Best Breast Cancer Prevention Tips You Should Know To Lower Your Risk

Breast Cancer is the most common cancer affecting women in India. In many parts of the Country, it is a 'taboo' - a 'closet' issue that is not openly discussed. Due to lack of awareness, more than 60% of breast cancers present in the advanced stages, with most succumbing within a year of being diagnosed.

Breast Cancer Awareness month (or Breast Cancer Prevention month as we like to call it at Keep A Breast) is over and by now you have probably seen your fair share of pink ribbons and sports stars going pink for breast cancer. But what does it mean? How can you lower your risk for cancer? And why should you care?

Did you know that fewer than 15% of all women who develop breast cancer have a family member diagnosed with it? This might seem like a scary statement, but think about it…

This means that 85% of all breast cancer cases are caused by factors other than heredity, such as environmental toxins, bad eating habits, and stress.
