Pink October

Understand the positive effects that a balanced diet and new therapies can offer

This month is known for its affirmative actions related to the prevention and early diagnosis of breast cancer and cervical cancer, in a movement that was marked as Pink October. The campaign is carried out as a way to promote awareness about diseases, providing greater access to diagnostic services, which can contribute to reducing deaths.

Endogen, a medical cannabis healthtech and nutrition based on science to generate quality of life, presents the benefits of medicinal cannabis and the role of balanced nutrition in preventing breast cancer.

Breast cancer affects women all over the world and, according to the National Cancer Institute (INCA), in 2022 alone there were an estimated 66,280 new cases in Brazil. It’s no surprise that adopting a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle habits helps to strengthen well-being and serves as a preventive measure against various diseases, such as breast cancer.

Having a balanced, nutrient-rich diet is essential for prevention and can help reduce the risk factors associated with the disease during and after treatment periods. Data shows that between 80% and 90% of cancer cases are associated with external causes, and it is possible to say that changes caused by humans in the environment, habits and lifestyles can increase the risk of different types of the disease. .

“Together with Endogen, we produce Pro Collagen for Women, developed based on bioactive substances, vitamins and minerals, which are antioxidants also found in nature, with protective properties against breast cancer. Thus helping to fight free radicals, which can damage cells and increase risk”,

comments pharmacist Christoph Nussbaum.

Additionally, there is recent research exploring new approaches to alleviating symptoms caused by breast cancer treatment, including the use of cannabinoids. Medicinal Cannabis can help alleviate the side effects of chemotherapy, promoting an increase in quality of life. According to Daniele Tondolo, anesthesiologist and doctor with a postgraduate degree in medicinal cannabis from Unyleya, cannabis has been an ally in combating the side effects of cancer.

“Cannabis can be applied as a symptomatic treatment, that is, to alleviate the symptoms of cancer patients. Thus, providing pain relief and improving nausea, especially after chemotherapy. Furthermore, it helps with sleep and plays a crucial role in muscle relaxation,”

explains.
