A new study revealed this fact that breast cancer cases are also linked to obesity and lack of exercises. Lifestyle factor has a major influence which may increase the risk of breast cancer.
Chairperson of breast cancer charity Christine Murphy Whyte told women to take small preventive steps to protect themselves against the breast cancer, which generally affects one in 12 women.
She also suggests that, “Appropriate lifestyle changes such as avoiding too much weight gain, increasing physical activity and eating a well-balanced diet where possible can reduce the risk of breast cancer”.
