Breast Cancer Warden

While it is an established fact that Estrogen is responsible for development of Cancer, a study by University of California, San Diego has linked that Estrogen to recurrence of breast cancer as well.

Anti-estrogen durgs like tamoxifen have not been observed to be an end-all solution, since this pilot group for this study included a proportion of women who were on tamoxifen.

Some of the tips to keep your estrogen levels low:

• Moderate to rigirous exercise like walking, jogging, etc
• Maintain regular checks on your weight; bodies obese women are more likely to accumulate estrogen as it accumulates in the fat.
• Eat lots of high fibre food.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to pesticides
• Avoid excessive caffaine intake
• If possible, do not opt for tubal ligation
