Eat Well: These are thousands of food substances that have powerful protective properties. With few exceptions, these factors are found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and some fish, so emphasize these foods to minimize your task. Take 3 grams a day of fish oil, and stay away from all other added oils. Drink green tea. Avoid foods high in fat and refined carbohydrates, which may promote cancer, and avoid alcohol. Women who were postmenopausal and who have one drink per day have a 30% higher rate of dying from breast cancer than women who don’t. Aim for less than 10% to 15% of calories from fat.

Exercise: Walk 30 minutes a day. Women who do regular physical activity may reduce the incidence of breast cancer by 20 percent to 30 percent.

Ease Up: Chronic stress may increase the risk of breast cancer. Research shows that women with breast cancer who were the most depressed has a significantly increased risk of relapse or death. So breathe, meditate, do yoga, pray, practice tai chi. And spend time with friends and family. Women with metastatic breast cancer who met in a support group once a week for a year lived nearly twice as long as those who didn’t have the emotional support from others who know their pain.
