Hey Hey...This weekend was a very WOW one for me..Family gatherings,meeting new family members and I stumbled on this writeup;
Do you know that women who drink one glass of wine a day in their teens and early twenties could be increasing their risk of breast cancer by a third?*wandering*...I find this pretty shocking...I read the article from a magazine earlier today and amazingly I found myself wandering if I have ever tasted alcohol and even if I have how many times..lol. I know many ladies reading this right now would probably be doing same now...*smiles*
From the article I learnt that scientists have found that consuming fairly small amounts of alcohol early on in life has harmful effects on breast tissue.
Although experts have known for sometime that alcohol raises the risk of breast cancer, this is one of the first studies to show how it can have an effect so early in life.
When alcohol is broken down by the body it creates a substance called ACETALDEHYDE,which can trigger genetic mutations in cells that lead to tumours.
There is a recommendation that women should reduce their alcohol intake in order to help prevent breast cancer...'Regularly drinking is also associated with a range of other health problems so anyone wanting advice or support on cutting down alcohol to speak with their doctor..
There is a growing evidence that women can drastically lower their risk by adopting healthier lifestyles....this can apply to the men too.."ADOPT HEALTHY LIFESTYLE" to live STRONG..
