Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer and also the deadliest. The World Health Organization predicts that by 2020 the number of breast cancer cases will be much higher than it is today.

In fact, it is believed that in the coming few years, one in every eight women will be at risk of developing breast cancer in her lifetime. This figure has also been estimated by the Indian Council of Medical Research.

Breast cancer is a complex disease and many factors contribute to it, such as genetics along with lifestyle and dietary factors.

However, you can reduce your risk of getting breast cancer with healthy habits such as limiting alcohol consumption, avoiding smoking, controlling your weight, avoiding exposure to radiation and environmental pollution, limiting the duration of hormone therapy, staying physically active and having regular medical checkups. Breast feeding also is known to lower a woman’s risk for breast cancer.

A healthy diet can also reduce the risk of breast cancer to a great extent. Certain foods can help fight malignant cancer cells at the onset and thus help in preventing breast cancer.
