Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most effective ways to reduce the risk of breast cancer include maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding alcohol consumption, and increasing physical activity. While eating less red meat and increasing intake of vegetables and dairy may have health benefits, they do not have as significant an impact on breast cancer prevention as lifestyle changes such as weight management and avoiding alcohol. Calcium supplements and drinking red wine have not been shown to significantly reduce breast cancer risk.
