Exercise to avoid breast cancer °°°°

Avoid becoming overweight :

 Extravagant corpulence raises the peril of breast cancer after menopause, the time of life when breast cancer most often occurs. Evade gaining weight over time, and endeavor to maintain a body-mass index of 25 or less.To lose weight, you must consume fewer calories than you burn throughout the day. In some instances, excess weight is an indicator of a more serious health problem. It's important to talk with your doctor about an exercise and diet plan that's safe for you.

Keep physically activities : 

• Try exercising early in the morning before you get busy. If you’re a morning person, set the alarm and get yourself going. If you struggle in the mornings, allow yourself to try at least two days of early exercise. You might surprise yourself if you enjoy it, and keep it up!
• Schedule your exercise session in your diary or calendar. When it’s already in your diary, you’re more likely to plan other things around it.
• Commit to exercise with someone else. It’s much harder to cancel when you feel you’re letting someone down.
• Most importantly, choose an exercise that you really enjoy. Don’t swim if you prefer running, and don’t choose a solitary sport if you prefer the fun and social aspects of a team sport like basketball.
• Think about the travel time involved. You can start a walk or run from anywhere, but going to the gym will take extra time.
• Do a workout at home.

Avoid hormone replacement therapy: 

 Menopausal hormone therapy increases risk for breast cancer. If you must take hormones to manage menopausal symptoms, avoid those that contain progesterone and limit their use to less than three years. “Bioidentical hormones” and hormonal creams and gels are no safer than prescription hormones, and should also be avoidednt

Don't  take alcohol or smoke :

The more alcohol you drink, the greater your risk of developing breast cancer. The general recommendation — based on research on the effect of alcohol on breast cancer risk — is to limit yourself to no more than one drink a day, as even small amounts increase risk.
