Stay Active & Reduce Risk

Being active isn’t just great for your fitness or mood it’s also linked to a lower risk of breast cancer. Even just 30 minutes a day of moderate activity can make a difference over time.

Here are some ways to get moving, whatever your lifestyle:

💃 Make it fun – dancing, brisk walks, cycling or even active housework all count.

🧘 Mix it up – include strength, flexibility and balance exercises. Pilates, yoga or resistance work help maintain muscle, support posture and strengthen bones.

👯 Buddy up – exercising with a friend keeps you motivated and makes it more enjoyable.

🌿 Sneak it in – short bouts of movement throughout the day can add up: 10 minutes of walking after lunch, taking the stairs, or a quick stretch between meetings.

Consistency beats intensity. It’s better to move a little every day than to do a huge session once a week.

Healthy Eating & Reducing Risk

Did you know that what you eat can play a role in reducing your risk of breast cancer? While there’s no single “miracle food”, research shows that a balanced diet rich in whole, unprocessed foods can help protect your long-term health.

Here are a few small but powerful changes you can make:

🥦 Pack in the plants – Aim for a variety of colourful fruit and veg. The fibre, vitamins and antioxidants they contain support your body’s natural defence system.

🥑 Choose healthy fats – Swap out processed and fried foods for nuts, seeds, olive oil and oily fish. These provide omega-3s that support cell health.

🍞 Fibre is your friend – Wholegrains, beans and pulses keep your digestive system healthy and may help regulate hormones linked to breast cancer risk.

🍷 Think about alcohol – Even small amounts of alcohol can raise your risk of breast cancer, so cutting down (or cutting it out) is one of the most impactful steps you can take.

It’s not about restriction or following a “perfect diet”, it’s about making consistent, balanced choices that nourish your body. Remember, little swaps add up over time.
