Breast cancer is a silent killer and it affects many people across all strata and all societies. Worldwide, breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer after lung cancer and the fifth most common cause of cancer death. Breast cancer is about 100 times as frequent among women as among men, but survival rates are equal in both sexes. Women in the United States have the highest incidence rates of breast cancer in the world.

Some things which have a direct effect on your breast health are the foods you eat, water you drink, air you breathe, genetic makeup and the medicines that you take. The impact of other, indirect factors, such as air quality, amount of exercise, meditation, and spending time with friends, is less well understood.

Anything that increases your chance of developing breast cancer is called a risk factor while anything that reduces your risk of developing breast cancer is called a protective factor. The good news is that if you are aware of the choices you can make, then you can control some risk factors. For example, if you are overweight, you can seek to lose excess pounds, which may reduce your risk of breast cancer. You can also make informed choices about the medicines you take which will reduce the chances of being affected by breast cancer to some extent.
