We’ve all seen the pink ribbon that reminds us of breast cancer, but are we doing all we can to prevent it?

Movies, television, magazines, and newspapers are full of images of partially clothed and fully exposed female breasts. Men have been infatuated with female breasts from the beginning of time. Just have a look at some of the earlier art from the Italian Renaissance period. After visiting The Musée d'Orsay in Paris this year and observing all the nude and semi-nude subjects in many of the art and sculptures, it occurred to me that we have always been a people obsessed with breasts. The amount of advertising and clinics we see today that specialize in breast augmentation proves this.

Women compare themselves with other women based on the size of their breasts. Women dress them up with millions of choices of bra models, colours, materials, and brands. Not to mention nipple rings. Ouch! Breasts are a source of sexual attraction and stimulation, yet most importantly the function of our breasts is to secrete milk for human nourishment.

However, I am not here to discuss our breast obsession; there is a more serious matter at hand. Women have been faced with serious health threats and in fact, sadly, have left their families and loved ones behind much too soon. The percentage of women facing cancer diagnoses has increased over time. Unfortunately, breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women globally today.

Easy Tips to Breast Cancer Prevention!

  • 1. Eat organic foods as much as possible. Stay clear of fruits and vegetables that contain the highest amounts of pesticides and reduce your exposure to many of the toxic chemicals found in our food. Click here for a list of the Dirty Dozen and the Clean 15.
  • 2. Drink filtered water free of chlorine and pesticides.
  • 3. Exercise at least 30 minutes each day. Walking, jogging, weight training, rebounding, and so on are all great ways to remove toxins from your skin.
  • 4. Spend time in an infrared sauna. Infrared saunas help eliminate chemicals stored in your fat cells. It helps with circulation and helps to oxygenate tissues.
  • 5. Use glassware to drink your water and store your food. Avoid plastic at all costs. Plastic often seeps chemicals that act like the hormone estrogen and cause hormonal disruptions.
  • 6. Avoid parabens in your cosmetics, shampoos, conditioners, and toothpastes, sunscreens, perfumes, hairspray, etc. Parabens also act like estrogen and can cause hormonal disruptions.
  • 7. Limit or avoid meat consumption, dairy, sugar, sweets, pastries, and desserts. Add more fruits, vegetables, and legumes to your diet. A high fiber diet can help protect your body against cancer.
