I’m going to put it out there right now. This is NOT one of my favorite subjects. As a person who as struggled with weight most of my life, and I hate to admit it, but that extra fluff can be responsible for you getting breast cancer. Some doctors even say it is the most important factor after genetics when it comes to your odds. Let me explain. As women age and their ovaries produce less estrogen, your body stores estrogen in fat. So the fat cells keep estrogen levels higher in your body than what it would be without the extra fat cells. Most common breast cancers are fed with estrogen and sometimes progesterone. So if you want to reduce your changes to get many types of cancer, reduce the fat cells too. Let’s do it together!
