The issue of breast cancer is just really overwhelming. Here are some tips to help prevent breast cancer.
1. Always do a self examination. It is very important to check yourself. Get familiar with your breast. Constant touching to check for lumps is adviced. If you discover any abnormalities, please consult your doctor.
2. Drink alot of water. Drink atleast 10 glasses of clean water every day.
3. If you have any family history of breast cancer, please go for check ups regularly.
4. Dont consume food with colouring, additives, preservatives and the likes.
5. Do not wear tighr bras with under wires.
6. Massage your breast daily. This helps to increase lymphatic drainage.
7. Install a tape filter. Chlorine enters the body through the skin.
8. Dry brush your skin daily with a natural skin brush in a circular motion toward the heart, emphasizing the areas where lymph nodes are concentrated, neck, shoulders, underarms, inner thighs etc. Skin brushing in the morning can be more energizing than coffee.
9. Avoid holding stress and resentment in your body. Find healthy ways to relax and express yourself to eliminate stress. Emotional and personality make-up are large factors in attaining wellness. Love of life, love for oneself, and deep connections to others help us make healthier choices. Expressing emotions, even ‘negative’ ones, are a part of wellness
10. Spirituality contributes to wellness. It means something different to each of us. It can be appreciation of our worth, uniqueness, and purpose. It can be to have faith, to love, to forgive, an/or to commune with nature
11.Take saunas, steam baths, herbal baths and wraps, and have massages as often as possible. These assist detoxification.
12. Do not use any harsh anti-perspirants, deodorants, soaps, detergents, lotion, make-up, hair dye, etc. Every chemical you put on your skin enters your body, thus increasing detoxification requirements on your liver
13. To increase oxygen in your environment decorate with plants. In highly polluted areas, use an air filter. Breathe deeply, exhaling through the nose. Aerobic exercise and yoga elevates oxygen in our cells. This is essential to good health.
14. Chew food thoroughly and eat slowly, in a relaxed atmosphere. Smaller portions improve digestion while increasing the absorption of nutrients.
15. Avoid constipation, without the use of over the counter laxatives, which can be dangerous. “In almost every case of breast cancer, a history of constipation can be demonstrated.” (Pelton) Plenty of water, fiber, fruit, and exercise are very helpful. Magnesium citrate helps stimulate peristalsis in the colon. If you must use a laxative, use an herbal one but only occasionally. If constipation is chronic and/or you want to expedite detoxification, consult a colon hydro-therapist.
16. Exercise regularly. Women who exercise aerobically four hours a week have less disease and stress. Exercise, especially jumping on a trampoline, stimulates the movement of lymph thus facilitating drainage in the breast. Move your arms, swim, dance, walk, and do calisthenics
