Genetic differences play a limited role in the occurrence of breast cancer and is sometimes influenced by factors such as weight, diet and breastfeeding, which have more influence, said British scientists said. Some gene variations increase risk of breast cancer created by factors such as obesity and drinking. The study involved more than 17,000 women. “This is encouraging because it means that whatever you’re having inherited genes, the effect of things like maintaining a healthy weight and reducing alcohol intake remains important in reducing the risk of breast cancer,” said Ruth Travis of the University of Oxford. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in rich countries. He lives about half a million people worldwide each year. The five genetic factors associated with risk of developing breast cancer, and 13 common sets of risk genes account for about 8% of risk for the development of disease. A study published in the U.S. last year showed that nearly 40% of all cases of breast cancer can be prevented if women observe a healthy diet, drink less alcohol and do more exercises.

However, in the name of the good of our children is unrealistic to think and they try to serve healthier foods in an attractive manner so as to win them for the noble cause. How?

* Select and serving good food – worse, if your family’s menu consists of 2-3 meals that are easy to prepare, but diversity is an important key to healthy eating – diversifying the menu, look for new recipes, alternately eating, soup salads;
* Be a model for your children as you eat very healthy, and while eating it and comment on them;
* Avoid quarrels on the table, try to create a positive atmosphere and good nutrition during use and the time for sharing and small family discussions;
* Engage the children in the process of choosing and cooking, send them to the market to buy fruit or vegetables and so they have a good attitude towards healthy food.
