8 ways to reduce your risk of breast cancer
The average American woman’s lifetime risk for developing breast cancer is one in nine. While that’s a scary statistic, you can take simple steps to lower the likelihood that you will develop cancer. Start hitting the gym. Studies have shown that women who work out regularly — and vigorously — have a 20 percent lower risk of developing breast cancer compared to those who rarely exercise. Keep in mind, your workouts have to be brisk — gardening won’t do it. Still, experts caution that you shouldn’t take a good thing too far. Make sure your heart rate doesn’t climb too high. To calculate your maximum healthy heart rate, subtract your age from 220.
