BRCA1 (breast cancer 1, early) is a human tumor suppressor gene that produces a protein called breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein. It is found in the cells of breast and other tissues, where it helps repair damaged DNA and destroy cells when DNA cannot be repaired. If BRCA1 itself is damaged, the damaged DNA can leave the cell without duplicating control and turn into cancer.
Most breast tumors grow under the influence of estrogen that permeate the mammary gland. However, the amount of these hormones is partly innate, partly due to our behavior. Our advice to reduce the risk to a minimum.
1. Parents Before Age of 30- Don't wait too much to start your own family have become father and mother before age of 30. A baby before age 30, and one or two later, is beneficial because pregnancy mammary cells leads to full maturity, which protects them from degeneration. Pregnancy also reduce the periods on the pill. However, the risk of breast cancer is very slightly increased among women who took the pill for more than five years before their first baby.
2. Stop the Fatty Acids- According to the researcher of French, the disease was found twice as common in women with high blood acid levels "trans" fats (oils partially hydrogenated vegetable) from industrial sources. These fatty acids are found particularly in manufactured products such as packaged bread sold in supermarkets, pastries, cakes, chips, pizza. The researchers recommend limiting industrial processes generating these fatty acids "trans", and that their presence in the products is clearly indicated.
3. control Your Weight- After menopause, being overweight appears to favor the development of tumors. Breast cancer is no exception. Do not let it install too many pounds is important. In addition, subcutaneous fat women covered stimulates an enzyme called aromatase. It converts androgen's (male hormones) to estrogen's, the known role in breast cancer.
4. Breast- Evidence is accumulating on the preventive effects of breastfeeding: the last report of the Research against cancer when one takes note of positive net effect over at least six months. One possible explanation is that when breastfeeding, estrogen production decreases. In addition, breastfeeding ends maturation of breast cells, another protective factor.
5. Limit Alcohol- Even at low doses, alcohol is harmful. This is the conclusion of a major study conducted by one cancer research in the United States, with 184,000 women. Regularly drink one or two glasses of alcohol per day and increase the risk by 30%. This effect is explained by a change in estrogen metabolism. The counsels of moderation apply to both the wine or champagne that the spirits.
6. Do Sports- Researchers confirms the beneficial role of physical activity. Walking at a brisk pace at least thirty minutes each day to his household actively prefer the stairs, a sporting activity once a week, decrease by 40% the risk. This effect is also seen in those who have a family history or who are thin. The reasons? A decrease in estrogen levels, changes in growth factors and immune function.
