Prevention is the cure 5 habits to prevent breast cancer

When we talk about breast cancer, we have been taught that prevention involves going for diagnostic tests such as mammography, that's fine, however, knowing that the root cause of cancer is inflammation, we could have a more active role in this preventative cause.

Although inflammation is a normal response of our immune system, it can become dangerous when we do not pay attention to its most common symptoms, leading to the degeneration of all our tissues. Common symptoms related to inflammation are fatigue, digestive problems, anxiety, eczema, joint pain, insomnia, and swelling.

As naturopathic women we can take a more active role in breast cancer prevention. By becoming aware of the root cause of any type of cancer: inflammation, we can carry out preventive habits that keep our inflammation under control and help us prevent breast cancer. Here are 5 habits that are unpredictable when it comes to keeping inflammation under control.

Smart management of your relationships. Believe it or not, the stress that relationships with your partner, your children and close relatives can cause can trigger inflammatory processes. For emotional biodecoding, breast cancer is associated with conflicts with the nest. These are conflicts in relation to the roles played within the family and the relationship. The lack of support, lack of communication, separation, fears, and dishonor can be experienced at such an intensity level that they trigger situations of stress and chronic inflammation at the body level.

More interaction with nature. The silent inflammation that can affect our cells and immune system, generating cancer, is closely linked to oxidative stress caused by excess free radicals due to toxins in the environment in which we live. Grounding, breathing fresh air, sunbathing, and immersing yourself in sea and river water at least once a week support the release of free radicals that cause inflammation.

Support your nutrition with supplements. In order for the immune system to keep inflammation under control, it needs essential nutrients such as vitamin C, zinc, vitamin D, and probiotics. It has been shown that the risk of breast cancer increases at lower levels of vitamin D. If your diet is not very natural and organic, support your nutrition and digestion with these supplements that will keep your inflammation in check.

Help your detoxification process. Part of our immune system is the cell cleaning, death and regeneration mechanism. When this mechanism is interrupted due to inflammation, then the cells go haywire creating cancer. Fasting, integrating teas like dandelion and green juices into your daily routine will keep inflammation under control. Well, they support the detoxification process that your cells and immune system do daily.

Keep your weight healthy. An increased risk of developing cancer has been associated with people with metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is characterized by body mass index greater than 25, higher than normal body weight, high fat and cholesterol percentage, and high blood sugar levels. This syndrome is associated with the development of insulin resistance and inflammation. To maintain your weight and metabolic rates you do not need to go on extreme diets. It's very easy to maintain your healthy weight by exercising, eating, and living a conscious natural lifestyle.
