Ways to Avoid it
There are many ways to avoid cancer by just eating certain types of food and by doing certain types of things.
Foods
Broccoli:
Among all vegetables broccoli is the one with sizable amount of sulforaphane which boosts the body's protective enzymes and flushes out cancer.
Garlic:
Phytochemical in garlic have been found to stop the formation of nitrosamines, a carcinogen formed in the stomach and intestines, when you consume nitrates.
Beans:
A diet rich in legumes increases the levels of fatty acid butyrate, which has protective effects against cancer growth.

Things You Can Do
Be physically active. Physical activity can help you maintain a healthy weight, which helps prevent breast cancer. Most healthy adults should aim for at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity weekly, plus strength training at least twice a week.
Don't smoke. Evidence suggests a link between smoking and breast cancer risk, particularly in premenopausal women.
Limit alcohol. The more alcohol you drink, the greater your risk of developing breast cancer. The general recommendation — based on research on the effect of alcohol on breast cancer risk — is to limit yourself to less than one drink a day, as even small amounts increase risk.
