October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an important time to spread vital information about this disease that impacts over 2 million women globally each year. While survival rates have improved tremendously, breast cancer remains the most common cancer diagnosis among women worldwide.
Awareness of risk factors, screening guidelines, warning signs and preventive lifestyle changes are key to reducing incidence and catching breast cancer early when outcomes are most favorable. I want to provide an overview of current medical recommendations, as well as emerging evidence on how detoxification practices may help lower risk.
Certain health and lifestyle factors are associated with increased breast cancer risk. Being aware of your personal risk profile allows you to make informed decisions about screening and prevention.
While some risk factors cannot be changed, adopting healthy lifestyle habits can help lower your chances of developing breast cancer:
Emerging research indicates that supporting the body's natural detoxification processes may also help lower breast cancer risk. Toxins and heavy metals accumulate in fatty tissues over years of exposure to things like pollution, pesticides, plastics, cigarette smoke, and chemicals in body care products and cosmetics.
Burdening the body with a buildup of carcinogens and hormone disruptors may contribute to abnormal cell growth and immune dysfunction. Gentle detoxification practices help facilitate the safe removal of accumulated wastes and toxins through the lymphatic system.
The lymphatic system is essentially the body's drainage network that collects interstitial fluid from tissues and filters out toxins, bacteria, dead cells, fats and waste. This fluid is transported via lymph vessels and passed through lymph nodes that catch and trap foreign substances. The filtered lymph then returns to the circulatory system.
Enhancing lymph flow and lymph health through techniques like dry brushing skin, rebounding on a mini-trampoline, yoga twists and stretches, massage, sauna therapy and lymph drainage creams may support natural detoxification. Always check with your doctor before adding new therapies.
A proactive detox regimen focused on lymph health can be an empowering addition to your annual checkups and routine screenings.
This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, be proactive about reducing your risks through healthy lifestyle choices and supportive detoxification habits. Knowledge truly is power when it comes to staying vigilant about breast health.
