American Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, her mother suffered from breast cancer, and she saw her mother fail to fight cancer with her own eyes and left the world at the age of 56. Afterwards, Angelina Jolie used genes to test her breast cancer gene and found that she had a mutation of the breast cancer gene BRCA1. In order to prevent breast cancer, she resolutely decided to undergo "preventive mastectomy".
The question for most people is, are there no other choice besides preventive surgery? Will diet therapy be effective?
1. Is the only risk of breast cancer genetic abnormalities?
Is breast cancer necessarily caused by gene BRCA1 mutation? In fact, many risk factors have been discussed in the past literature:
1. Age: In the past, it was believed that women over 60 years old would occur, but now the trend of breast cancer becoming younger is becoming more and more obvious, and breast cancer is more common in China between 40 and 50 years old.
2. Personal history of breast cancer: If you have breast cancer on one side, the chance of breast cancer on the other side will also increase, and the histopathological manifestations are not exactly the same.
3. Family history: If your mother, sister, and daughter have breast cancer, especially before the age of 40, the chance will increase.
4. Menstrual history: is early (before 12 years old) or menstrual period too late (before 55 years old), so the breast tissue is exposed to estrogen for too long, and of course the risk increases.
5. Production history: Women who have never given birth to children will suffer from breast cancer. Some people say that breastfeeding has the function of detoxifying the breast.
6. History of hormone therapy: Whether you receive hormone intervention before menstruation or hormonal replacement therapy after menstruation, there is a higher chance of breast cancer.
7. Obesity: Obese cells are currently considered an endocrine cell with a chance of conversion to increase estrogen. Past studies have found that obese women have a higher incidence of breast cancer after menopause, but now young obese girls also have an increased probability of breast cancer.
8. Drinking history: Research from Harvard University in the United States found that drinking 3 glasses of alcoholic beverages per week will increase the risk of breast cancer by 15%; drinking at least 2 glasses of wine or beer per day, or 2 glasses of cocktails per day will be related to a 50% increase in risk.
9. Exercise history: Not loving exercise is related to breast cancer. Research report from Yale University in the United States also pointed out that weight loss and exercise can effectively reduce the cancer mortality rate. Experiments also found that walking 3 hours a week can reduce the mortality rate of breast cancer patients by 46%.
10. History of radiation exposure: Women who have received chest radiation therapy, such as those who receive endothoracic lymphoma radiation therapy, especially those under 30 years old, have an increased chance of breast cancer.
11. Plasticizer exposure history: Research from foreign and domestic China Institute of Research has shown that plasticizers include bisphenol A and phthalic acid diester (DEHP), which are related to the occurrence and rejuvenation of breast cancer.
2. Diet conditioning for life and diet
1. Quit smoking and quit drinking:
Especially alcohol, don’t think that red wine can protect the cardiovascular system, because alcohol is one of the factors that trigger breast cancer.
2. Obese people should be sure to lose weight.
3. Moderate sun exposure and exercise for 20 to 30 minutes a day:
Please note that doing housework is not considered exercise . Please arrange a fixed period every day, and perform brisk walking, swimming, dancing, cycling, hand swinging, Tai Chi , etc., timely sun exposure can increase the synthesis of active vitamin D3 in the body.
4. Less red meat and milk-related dairy products:
Research found that there are too many types of insulin growth factors (IGF-1) in it, which is related to tumorigenesis.
5. Enough sleep:
Try to go to bed before 11 pm, sleeping for 7.5 to 8.5 hours.
6. Stress relief:
Music, art, calligraphy, religion, spiritual lectures, etc. can all help relieve stress.
7. Try to use plastic products to hold food as little as possible.
8. More vegetables, less fruit, no sugar, more fish:
Cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower can help the liver estrogen metabolism, and fruits must be controlled because they are too sweet. Sugar-containing beverages and desserts can not be touched. Small and medium-sized sea fish contain more Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids, which can reduce the probability of breast cancer.
9. Function Nutritional Medicine Doctor's conditioning:
If you want to take health food, you must consult functional nutritional medicine doctors, because these experts are well aware of the methods of nutritional conditioning, which is definitely a bonus on the road to prevention.
