What is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer is a cancer that effect your breast. Breast cancer
is one of the most common cancers for women in America.
Breast cancer is an uncontrollable tumor that starts in a cells of
the breast. An uncontrollable tumor is a group of cancer cells
that can grow into surrounding tissues or spread to distant areas
of the body. The disease happens almost entirely in women, but
men can get it too.
Causes
What causes breast cancer?
Things that causes breast cancer are not enough exercise, stress, too much salt, for
example: An average children 11 years or over can consume 6g of salt everyday.
Eating too much salt lead to high blood pressure, too much sugar will cause breast cancer
too for example: An average teenager should eat about 34g of sugar a day and a nondiabetic person can eat about 40g of sugar a day. If you eat too much sugar a day you
will be overweight and being overweight can develop breast cancer. Some people will get
breast cancer through family history, some people just develop it but they didn’t even do
anything wrong. Some women who smoke, drink alcohol, eat high- fat diets, and don’t
exercise will more likely develop breast cancer than women who don’t.
Effects
The effect that breast cancer causes are:
Breast cancer may create a lump in your chest, swelling in or around your chest, collarbone or
armpits…etc. After the treatment most people started to eat healthy, exercise more like; playing
sport for 4 days week and 45 minutes each day, cut down on alcohol there are no proof on the
limit of drinking alcohol so the limit for you to drink alcohol depends on your weight , your
gender, the type of alcohol you’re drinking and the amount, your current stress levels, whether
you’ve eaten anything recently. If the police think you are driving not safe then they will
investigate you are over the drinking limit. They will test your breath by using the breathalyzer ,
some people give up on tobacco, some even think about relaxing more so stress can be more under
control. Patients who are in the stage of breast cancer even started their healthy life.
Preventions
My plan from preventing breast cancer are:
Eating healthy because the purpose of eating healthy is healthy diets is made out of foods and
nutrients so when we eat healthy we will less likely to develop breast cancer. To do that I will follow
the My Plate “technique” and be balance. I can also take care of myself for example: I can
choose my own choice and know what is right and good for me, be independent. I can exercise 4
days a week and in those 4 days I can play sport for 45 minutes at least. Knowing that my
grandma had breast cancer before I can protect myself even more by checking myself regularly to
see if I have any bumps. I can check with the doctor daily too. My goal is to keep my promise
and work on these plan and not writing this down to get good grades.
