One of the easiest, non-invasive ways to reduce the risk of Breast Cancer is to lose body fat.
World renowned strength coach Charles Poliquin is one of the top experts regarding the influence that site specific body fat has on hormones.
One quick measurement females should take in consideration is the leg measurements which includes the Quad (front of the leg) and Hamstring (back of the leg).
According to Poliquin the sum of these two sites should be less than 30 mm for optimal female hormone production and health.
Going forward an action item that should be done ASAP is get a skinfold test done by an appropriate fitness professional (ideally trained in Poliquin's BioPrint) and see where you are at. From there additional action steps can be taken regarding nutrition, training, supplementation and lab testing so your fitness goals are met and your chances of Breast cancer are reduced.
