5. Avoid or Limit Alcohol

Avoid drinking too much alcohol on a regular basis: heavy drinkers and binge drinkers have an increased risk of developing breast cancer, not to mention cancer in general. Experts recommend women drink no more than one unit of alcohol per day, such as a small glass of wine or a single beer.

If you are specifically worried about your cancer risk or have a family history of cancer, it may be better to avoid alcohol altogether.
