3 Lifestyle Changes May Reduce Breast Cancer Risk

According to a report from the Doctor's Lounge, the U.S. National Cancer Institute has developed a model which points to 3 lifestyle changes that can reduce the risk of breast cancer. If you find yourself unable to work while you're undergoing treatment for a severe medical condition, then you may be entitled to receive long-term disability benefits.

3 Lifestyle Changes that Can Reduce Risk of Breast Cancer 

• body mass index (BMI);
• physical activity; and
• less alcohol consumption.

These are lifestyle choices that are considered controllable in which individuals can do something about them.

Researchers indicate that women who are over the age of 50 should have a BMI that's less than 25 and women, in their 30's, should also be getting in at least 2 hours of exercise per week.

5 Unchangeable Lifestyle Areas That May Contribute to Breast Cancer 

• job activity;
• biopsy history;
• family history;
• education; and
• reproductive characteristics.

Knowing the risk factors for breast cancer can at least help direct women to get regular checkups. Early detection can save lives.

If you have questions concerning eligibility, filing a claim or appealing one that's been denied, then you should immediately speak with a Hallendale long-term disability attorney.
