Condition analysis:
Moderation is key. One drink per day has been shown to slightly increase the risk of breast cancer. Having more than one drink per day has shown to be a more significant risk factor, and the alcohol content doesn’t matter: wine, beer or a mixed drink. Alcohol also increases estrogen in your bloodstream.

Although we know that more than one drink per day increases risks, to date there are no studies that demonstrate directly that the more a person drinks, the greater their risk for cancer. And in some cases, drinking one glass of wine a day can offer heart-health benefit. If you drink alcohol, this is an important topic to discuss with your doctor so that you will know what limits are best for you to observe.

Instructions:
1. Wheat Grass: According to the demonstration and studies conducted by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre, wheatgrass has the potential of being advantageous to breast cancer patients. The intake of wheatgrass in its natural raw form or as a juice regresses the growth of cancerous cells. Wheatgrass helps in the enhancement of the immune system and getting rid of waste products and toxins from the body of the patient.

2. Green Tea: ECGC, which is the primary polyphenol in green tea, may help in reducing the risks of Breast Cancer in certain patients. Various laboratory and animal studies have shown that green tea can help retard the growth of breast cancer cells but further research will help consolidate the role of green tea in the treatment of breast cancer.
