Small changes, big difference

When thinking about how to reduce your risk of breast cancer, you don't need to consider making huge, sweeping changes to your lifestyle. A few small adjustments to your habits can be enough to make a big difference:

Did you know? Maintaining a healthy weight through balanced eating and regular exercise can reduce breast cancer risk. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and fibre can help reduce your risk of breast cancer.

Did you know? Regular physical activity can lower the risk of breast cancer by 10-20%. Aim for at least 30 minutes a day.

Did you know? Alcohol consumption is linked to an increased risk of breast cancer. Limit your intake to reduce your risk. Smoking is also linked to a higher risk of breast cancer. Quitting today could protect your health in the future.

Did you know? Breastfeeding has been shown to lower the risk of developing breast cancer, especially when done for a total of one year or more. It can be protective for both mother and child.

Did you know? Performing breast self-exams only takes a few minutes each month. Set a reminder, stay proactive, and know your body! Women who perform monthly breast self-exams are more likely to detect breast cancer early, leading to more treatment options.
