The decision to do a diet for most women is the most appropriate decision. In addition to the reasons to form a beautiful body shape, diet has an impact on the health of the body. Experts in New York disclose the results of recent studies, if women who are overweight or obese, are more at risk of breast cancer.

“Patients who are obese, are particularly at risk for breast cancer, and the possibility of recurrence is very high. Though the therapy is done properly,” said Dr. Joseph sparano, associate chair of oncology at Montefiore Medical Center, NYC.

Positive breast cancer hormone receptor will develop over the increase of estrogen in the body. While in obese women, estrogen levels are higher, compared to normal-bodied women. This is what allows the case of relapse to be more common in obese women.

Sparano also said more obese patients often have additional serious health problems. Such as heart disease, cholesterol, hypertension, and others. These extra  cases are often prevents a patient from getting the maximum therapies.

“Obesity is clearly associated with increased risk, and even women who are not obese, but overweight also experience increased risk,” said sparano, according to Health Day News.

This study also observed the impact of the reduction of body fat and risk of recurrence in breast cancer cases. In fact, in some obese women, lose fat had no impact on weight loss or minimize the risk of recurrence.
