He said fertilizer cancer is hormone estrogen in the body. When a woman in pregnancy and lactation would appear hormone progesterone. This hormone then rise and make protection, so that the hormone estrogen is no longer dominant for 27 months.
In addition to breastfeeding, women can maintain breast health. As according to new study that shows that women who consumed soy at a young age have a much lower risk of breast cancer at this time, than those who consume less soy. Breast health is closely related to the number of soy consumption, because a lot of substances contained by the soybean which provides protection to our bodies and breasts in particular against cancer.
Research in Asia conducted in Japan and China also shows that percentage of Asian women affected by breast cancer is also much smaller than the women in America and Europe in general. Research on the efficacy of soy against breast cancer is one bright spot that could explain this fact. Women who consume soy as a child once a week have a risk almost 60% less breast cancer than women who rarely consume soy. Your breast health will be maintained by adjusting your diet and add more food derived from soybea.
