Healthy Lifestyle

While doctors still do not know what causes breast cancer, indications are that a healthy lifestyle may provide some protection. In general you should maintain a healthy body weight, eat a balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, take regular exercise and if you drink, limit alcohol to 2 units a day or less (a unit equals a small glass of wine, a measure of spirits or half a pint of beer)
