The researchers suggested the cancer protection may be due to hormonal changes that occur during lactation.<\/p>\n<p>During breastfeeding, periods are irregular and this lowers the amount of the sex hormone oestrogen the body is exposed to over a lifetime. Excess oestrogen has been linked to an increased risk of cancer.<\/p>\n<p>The 10 lifestyle choices that could lower your risk of cancer:<\/p>\n<p>1. Staying at the lower end of the healthy BMI range<\/p>\n<p>2. Two and a half hours of exercise per week<\/p>\n<p>3. Eat a balanced diet with at least 30g of fibre and at least diver portions of fruits and vegetables a day<\/p>\n<p>4. Limit fast food<\/p>\n<p>5. Eat no more than three portions of red meat a week<\/p>\n<p>6. Avoid drinks with added sugar<\/p>\n<p>7. No alcohol<\/p>\n<p>8. Stay away from supplements for cancer prevention<\/p>\n<p>9.
