What should be included in the prevention and early detection of breast cancer?

Maintaining a normal weight is crucial in the prevention and early detection of breast cancer. Obesity and excess body fat can increase the risk of developing breast cancer due to hormonal changes that may occur with increased weight. Adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet and regular physical activity helps to control weight and can significantly lower the risk.

In contrast, high intake of red meats and a high sugar diet have been associated with increased risk factors for various diseases, including potential links to cancer. Conversely, ignoring family history, which can be a significant risk factor for breast cancer, would not be a strategy for prevention or early detection. Understanding personal and family medical history can help individuals engage in appropriate screening measures. Therefore, maintaining a normal weight emerges as a fundamental aspect of breast cancer prevention efforts.
