NEW POST! 7 Tips for Better Breast Health

Today, everyone knows at least one woman who has struggled with breast health. Yet many women, especially those who are healthy, don’t often take targeted daily action to protect and maintain the health of their breasts. The good news: Some of the most powerful natural breast health solutions also promote overall vitality and longevity. Here are seven straightforward ways to not only support lifelong breast health, but total-body wellness in the process!
1. Eat colorful fruits & vegetables every day (try for organic).
You hear this advice often. However, many people find that eating enough fruits and vegetables everyday can be hard, so here are some simple solutions: Find a few easy recipes you love that incorporate vegetables you enjoy. Try different greens in your salad, besides regular iceberg or romaine lettuce. Spinach, watercress, kale and other greens will help spike the nutritional value of your standard salad. Cruciferous veggies, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and kale provide exceptional vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants and phytonutrients as well as DIM (diindolylmethane), a powerful compound which research shows supports breast health by assisting in the proper metabolism of estrogen.* Whenever possible, opt for organic fruits and vegetables, and be aware of the top 12 non-organic produce items with the highest levels of pesticides. You can find the list of the “Dirty Dozen,” compiled by Environmental Working Group, here. By choosing organic, you reduce your exposure to common pesticides which are proven to harm breast, cellular and overall health.

2. Get moving

If you don’t exercise every day, don’t beat yourself up or decide that it’s too late to start. Take action now with a short walk around the block, gradually increasing to thirty minutes a day if possible. Even a brisk walk twice a week provides health benefits. Not only does exercise help you lose weight and manage stress, but it actively fights abnormal cell growth and provides a host of other well-documented benefits.*
3. Maintain a healthy weight and metabolismGet motivated to lose a few extra pounds! In a study of 5,450 women, scientists determined a relationship between high insulin levels (often associated with unhealthy weight) and compromised breast health.* Women with the highest insulin levels were more than twice as likely to develop breast health problems as those with the lowest insulin levels. Extra weight also encourages high estrogen levels, the hormone that can stimulate unhealthy breast cell growth. The more fat cells you have, the more estrogen is pumped through the body on a daily basis. Balanced weight leads to balanced hormones, reducing your risk for breast health issues.*
4. Get enough restGetting about eight hours of sleep a night promotes overall health and also gives the body time to restore its cells. Melatonin, a hormone produced while you sleep during the night, also contributes to healthy cellular activity.* Listen to your body and get some sleep when you need it the most, and avoid overnight shift work if possible as this type of schedule is associated with increased risks to breast and other areas of health.*
5. Focus on specific natural ingredientsDoctors from across the medical spectrum agree on several potent natural ingredients and compounds that support healthy cellular function, especially in the area of breast health. The substantiated list includes diindolylmethane (DIM), quercetin, turmeric, Chinese skullcap, astragalus, and medicinal mushrooms.* While the research on these ingredients continues to spark the interest of modern scientists, natural health traditions have relied on their benefits for centuries. DIM, obtained from eating broccoli, promotes healthy estrogen metabolism.* Quercetin is a flavonoid shown to have amazing cellular effects in animal and laboratory studies, which show that it can inhibit the growth of unhealthy cells.* The spice turmeric helps the body process toxins and diminish the blood supply to aberrant cells.* Astragalus is a respected herb for managing stress, boosting immunity and offering antioxidant support.* Medicinal mushrooms have long been used to address diverse areas of health in traditional Asian practices and ongoing research continues to demonstrate how they promote cellular health.*
6. Reduce or avoid alcohol intakePractice moderation when it comes to imbibing. Research has established a link between excess alcohol consumption and breast health problems. A study of 13,885 women found that those who had 14 or more alcoholic drinks per week experienced a 24 percent increase for developing abnormal breast cells. A well-known Harvard study involving 38,000 healthy women showed that those who drank more than 12 ounces of wine each day were 32 percent more likely to develop abnormal breast cells.
7. Use targeted daily supplementsFor superior breast health support, BreastDefend is a comprehensive formula which synergistically combines the most advanced and bioavailable compounds shown to promote healthy breast cells.* Recent studies have shown this unique formula offers significant support for breast health.* BreastDefend contains DIM, in addition to quercetin, turmeric rhizome curcumin extract (BCM-95®), astragalus root, Scutellaria barbata extract, and Coriolus (Trametes versicolor) mushroom, Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) mushroom and Phellinus linteus mushroom specially grown on immune and cellular supporting herbs.* This effective combination of extracts, herbs, and specially grown medicinal mushrooms offers a powerful tool to promote breast health and support overall vitality, without toxic side effects.*
BreastDefend was also recently studied together with PectaSol-C® Modified Citrus Pectin. Results demonstrated even greater breast health protection and support, through the combination of the two nutraceuticals.* In essence, PectaSol-C boosted the already powerful actions of BreastDefend in the support and protection of breast health and overall wellness.
With the tips presented here, together with the powerful research behind BreastDefend and PectaSol-C Modified Citrus Pectin, you have a targeted strategy to protect breast health and maintain vitality throughout life.*
