Chemicals
Chemicals that have been linked to breast cancer are everywhere. They can be found in our cosmetics, food packaging and water - by researching their impact we are able to understand their influence on our health and breast cancer risk.
Diet and Weight
A healthy balanced diet can help reduce the risk of breast cancer, coupled with drinking less alcohol (or better still, none at all) and maintaining a healthy weight for your height are all key factors in preventing breast cancer.
Exercise
Being active not only reduces the risk of breast cancer but its good for your general wellbeing. It can help to reduce body fat, lower oestrogen levels and boosts your immune system. All are important in preventing breast cancer.
