10 Breast‑Cancer Awareness Tips 1. Know your family history – Genetics play a big role; share any cancer cases with your doctor. 2. Get regular mammograms – Start as advised (usually ≥40 y or earlier if high‑risk). 3. Do monthly self‑exams – Check for lumps, skin changes, or discharge; note any new findings. 4. Stay at a healthy weight – Excess body fat raises estrogen levels, increasing risk. 5. Exercise regularly – Aim for ≥150 min moderate activity weekly. 6. Limit alcohol – Even 1–2 drinks/week can modestly raise risk; keep it low or avoid. 7. Avoid smoking – Smokers have higher rates of breast‑cancer development. 8. Eat a balanced diet – Plenty of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean protein; limit processed foods. 9. Be aware of hormone therapy – Discuss alternatives if you need long‑term hormone replacement. 10. Know the warning signs – Lump, dimpling, nipple retraction, persistent pain, or unusual discharge; seek medical advice promptly.
