Breast Cancer:

Breast cancer occurs when some breast cells start to grow abnormally. It occurs mostly in
women, but sometimes even in men.
Regular self-examination is important to detect early growth of the cancer and get required
treatment.
A healthy diet and lifestyle, with regular sunbathing, can drastically reduce the risk of getting
breast cancer.

PCOD/PCOS:

Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a disorder common in women between the ages of 12
and 45. It is caused due to excess insulin in the body which results in immature eggs that turn
into cysts.
PCOD can have a severe harmful effect on a woman’s ability to conceive and the menstruation
cycle. It can also lead to hair loss, acne, and bone loss.
A change in lifestyle and diet regulation can help treat the disease. It is important to take vitamin
supplements to recreate the hormonal balance of the body.

Trans Fats:

Some countries like Denmark have completely banned trans fats. Do you know why?
Even a small amount of trans fats is harmful and can lead to many disorders like heart diseases
and strokes.
WHO recommends limiting trans fats in food to 2%.
With the popularity of fast food and street food, it is difficult to regulate trans fats in food.
To reduce the danger posed by trans fats, it is recommended to avoid Vanaspati and instead
consume more healthy fats and use seed based cooking oils.
