Many factors influence the risk of breast cancer on a large scale but unfortunately some factors cannot be altered such as senescence and family history. But we can definitely try out some ways to maintain our health that can surely lower our risk of breast cancer. Some of them are — 1) Keeping a healthy and maintained weight. 2) Exercise regularly. 3) Breastfeed your children as long as possible, preferably even after 1 year. 4) If you have a history of breast cancer in your family, go and get your BRACA1 and BRACA2 genes checked in case if there is some inherited mutation. 4) Limit alcohol intake. 5) Usage of oral contraceptive pills and birth control pills in case if you’re a smoker should be avoided.
