On January 16, 2015, Yao Beina’s young and vivid life came to an abrupt end, and breast cancer was the culprit for her premature departure from us.
In fact, due to work pressure, unhealthy lifestyle and other reasons, the youthfulness of cancer in China has already spread quietly. Breast cancer, which has a very high incidence rate in women, is also a killer of young girls of wonderful age.
Let’s learn how to keep away from breast cancer for the sake of women’s health
How breast cancer develops
The age of onset of breast cancer in China is mainly around 40 to 45 years old, while the first peak is between 45 and 50 years old for foreign women, and then gradually declines to the second peak at 60 years old.
Although the real cause of breast cancer is not yet fully understood, its development is related to a variety of factors such as genetics and fertility status. The chance of developing the disease is 1.3 to 3 times higher than normal for the following groups
1. Those whose age of menarche is less than 12 years old or whose age of menopause is older than 55 years old.
2.The age of first childbirth is older than 35 years old, or no childbirth, no breastfeeding after delivery.
3.Short menstrual cycle, indicating a long duration of estrogen action.
4. High estrogen level after menopause or using estrogen replacement therapy.
The earlier the detection, the higher the cure rate
In fact, breast cancer is not as deadly as other cancers. For early diagnosis, the cure rate is nearly 95% and the survival period can exceed five years! Therefore, caring for yourself, detecting and treating as early as possible to nip the tumor in the bud is undoubtedly an important measure to prevent and treat breast cancer.
Women can protect their breast health by asking their doctors to make a breast clinical examination plan; performing breast self-examination on the 10th day after the start of each menstrual cycle; and asking a breast cancer specialist to assess whether you are at high risk.
Changing bad habits is important
Some of the factors in the development of breast cancer cannot be changed, such as age, family history, history of radiation treatment, age of menarche, etc. On the other hand, breast lesions caused by poor lifestyle habits, excessive stress, irregular work and rest are traceable and can be improved!
Keeping fit means protecting the breast
Excessive intake of foods high in sugar and fat, frequent drinking, etc. will lead to excessive fat storage in women’s bodies, which will stimulate estrogen secretion, and the accumulation of large amounts of estrogen will increase the incidence of breast cancer.
Most studies have confirmed that being overweight or obese is significantly associated with an increased risk of recurrence and death from breast cancer! And overweight or obese patients even increase the coefficient of lateral breast cancer!
Therefore, to reduce the risk of breast cancer, the first step is to control the estrogen level in your body. Eating more vegetables and fish, less barbecue and less alcohol will play a vital role in your body.
If you can pair it with proper exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle, you can effectively fight off the invasion of breast cancer.
Less late nights and more sleep
Modern people love to stay up late, and women are especially hurt if they always stay up day and night. Not only the dark bags under the eyes, dry skin and withered face will come to you, but the incidence of breast cancer will also be greatly increased.
Mc scientists have found that women who work at night have a higher chance of developing breast cancer, and the longer they work at night, the more likely they are to develop breast cancer. This is because artificial light suppresses the secretion of melatonin in the body (this hormone is only produced at night), and lower melatonin levels promote the secretion of estrogen.
If you want to avoid breast cancer, take a good “beauty sleep” with health benefits every night.
Chinese medicine believes that breast cancer and emotions are closely related
When women get angry, it will easily cause problems in the liver meridian, which has a meridian passing through the breast.
The first characteristic of women who get angry easily is that when they have their menstruation, their breasts will be swollen and painful. According to Chinese medicine, anger can easily lead to liver stagnation and qi stagnation, and blood stagnation can lead to blood stasis, and blood stasis can lead to obstruction and accumulation, which means pathological changes in the body caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, that is, some lumps and nodules. There is a difference between accumulation and gathering, accumulation is qi and gathering is blood. Qi accumulation does not have a fixed place and can change when pushed. Blood accumulation has a fixed place and cannot be pushed, blood stasis, and a tingling sensation.
The liver meridian goes from bottom to top, and after the blockage in Tanzhong, it will go to the sides, and according to the physiological characteristics of women, it will go to the breast, so there will be swelling and pain in the breast, and there will be hard knots, which women now experience a lot. Some girls have a hard stomach, a painful press, and can not push, this is the early manifestation.
Tuning the gods and shun qi to maintain health mainly includes the following aspects.
1, one is difficult to get confused.
What has not happened yet, do not think too much; what is happening, do not bother too much; what has happened, just let it go.
2, in line with the seasons.
Spring is lively, summer is open, autumn is quiet, and winter is hidden. Let the spirit change with the external environment.
3, moderation of emotions.
”A moment of anger, to avoid a hundred days of worry.”
4, to have a spiritual support.
You can enjoy music, you can also raise flowers and grass. As long as people have spiritual support, they will have confidence in life and reduce unnecessary anger. In addition, too angry people, may also be suffering from “depression”. According to the World Health Organization statistics, more than 60 years old people have a 7%-10% chance of suffering from depression, suffering from high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, diabetes, the incidence of up to 50%.
Such people, to adjust their minds, laugh for 3 minutes a day, laugh can relieve fatigue, reduce stress, help the lungs to expand, promote digestion, so that depression slowly reduced; forget about worries for 5 minutes, tell yourself “there is nothing on earth, the mediocre people disturb themselves”, let go of worries will feel incredibly relaxed. When you are angry, press the liver meridian and press the tai-chong point. Remember, anger is to punish yourself for the mistakes of others, and anger is the source of all diseases.
