6. Decrease Risk of Breast Cancer
An overabundance of estrogen is thought to contribute to breast cancer, but managing levels of estrogen in the body during menopause and perimenopause could help reduce the risk of breast cancer in older women. Breast cancer is related to hormone production, and a healthy balance of estrogen can reduce the growth of cancerous cells. A phytoestrogen called apigenin seems to be the best candidate to reduce breast cancer risk.
