Want to reduce your risk for breast cancer? Delve into the tactics that everyone can do to help them improve their chances of preventing breast cancer.  Antoinette Dulcich is my dietetic intern who is on the road to becoming a registered dietitian. The process to become a registered dietitian is receiving a Bachelor’s degree in food and nutrition, completing 1,200 hours of supervised practice hours in various areas of dietetics, and finally passing a board exam to become a practicing dietitian. In our conversation we discuss diet and lifestyle factors that can contribute to breast cancer risk reduction, as well as the science behind why these tactics are proven to be effective. Unfortunately, cancer is not 100% preventable, but it is possible to manage certain controllable risk factors that can contribute to its development. As you’ll learn throughout the episode, the best time to ‘treat’ cancer is before it happens! In this episode, we discuss: - Why physical activity is beneficial and how much we should be doing every week - The amount and frequency of alcohol intake that becomes risky - Chemicals present in common household items that can fuel cancer growth as well as tools to help distinguish between clean and toxic products - Weight status and why excess weight can contribute to cancer risk  - Most buzzed about dietary patterns for cancer prevention  The purpose of this conversation is to bring awareness that a cancer diagnosis usually isn’t due to one single factor and that there are many different pieces to the puzzle. By being mindful of our everyday choices we have the power to aid in reducing our risk for cancer.  Check out the full episode and read our full research review at: https://erinskinner.com/empowerednutrition/breastcancerrisk Want more details?  See our full article below, Five Ways to Minimize Breast Cancer Risk Please review the Empowered Nutrition Podcast on Apple Podcasts!
