Walk for an hour a day. A study from France found that 4 to 7 hours of activity per week decrease your breast cancer risk by 31%. Increase the intensity and power-walk, and you’ll reduce your risk even more. Because working out harder burns more fat… which reduces your body’s excess estrogen output. And excess estrogen is linked to breast cancer, because it helps cancer cells grow.

Sip tea with every meal. Black and green teas contain plant compounds that fight cancer. But they only stay in your system for 8 hours – so you need to keep topping up with tea.

One more way to reduce your breast cancer risk: Eat this for a snack – a pear and half-a-cup of peanuts. That’s half the amount of soluble fiber you need in a day. It helps to keep your insulin in check – and high insulin may double your risk of breast cancer.

• First: Calcium supplements and antibiotics. Because the calcium stops your body from absorbing the antibiotic. You can still take calcium, just do it at least 3 hours before or after your antibiotic.

• Also, don’t combine antihistamines and antidepressants. It can cause extreme drowsiness. So if you have allergies and you’re on antidepressants, ask your doctor what pills can clear your sinuses and relieve watery eyes without the sedating effects.

• Lastly, ladies, if you’re on the Pill, steer clear of St. John’s Wort. It can make oral contraceptives less effective… Because it breaks down estrogen, increasing the odds you’ll get pregnant even if you’re on the Pill.

You can spark chemistry on a dinner date by choosing certain foods.

Here’s what to order, according to registered dietician, Cynthia Sass.

Ladies, to feel more attracted to your date, eat foods rich in zinc: Like beef, shellfish, spinach and chocolate. Zinc raises testosterone in women… which will make you more likely to find your date attractive.

And ladies, if you want your date to find YOU attractive, order anything with celery and asparagus. They encourage your body to release pheromones. Or order spinach to boost your estrogen. Because both chemicals will make you seem more attractive to your date.

According to The National Breast Cancer Foundation, one in 8 women either has – or will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. But the men aren’t safe, either. 1,700 men are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, too. So, we’re going to help lower your odds of developing the disease. Here’s what you should be doing:

First and foremost: Exercise. Research shows that it’s the number-one thing you can do to lower your risk. A study from the National Cancer Institute found that women who average 3 hours of exercise per week, over their lifetime, have a 23% lower risk of developing breast cancer. So, why is it a magic formula? Because exercise lowers estrogen levels – and estrogen is a well-known factor in cancerous changes in the breast.

Tip #2: Watch what you drink. Alcohol is a double-edged sword… While it’s been linked to a lower risk of heart disease, it increases your risk of breast cancer. One study found that each daily glass of alcohol raises a woman’s risk by up to 12%.

And lastly: Get more vitamin D.

One study found that women who got the most calcium and Vitamin D had a35% lower risk than those who got the least. Unfortunately, nearly 75% of us have inadequate levels. Many experts now believe that taking 1,000 IUs of Vitamin D daily is best.
