The Rising Trend of Breast Cancer in Young Adults: Understanding the Unsettling Reality
Exploring the Journey of Breast Cancer: An Unfortunate Encounter
Finding Answers Amidst Uncertainty
I was confronted with a harsh reality that shattered the assumption of invincibility that often accompanies youth. At the tender age of 23, I received a breast cancer diagnosis in October. My world turned upside down as questions swirled in my mind. Why did this happen? Isn’t breast cancer reserved for those with a family history or genetic predisposition? The search for answers began.
Endless theories were presented to me – excessive sugar consumption, exposure to plastic, even unconventional habits like storing my phone in my bra. People were desperate to make sense of it, not just for themselves but also to protect their own vulnerability. The unsettling truth emerges – if it happened to me, it could possibly strike anyone else in their prime.
Invasive breast cancer diagnoses among women under 40 are relatively rare, accounting for only 4 percent in 2022 statistics. However, recent studies expose a rising trend among young individuals facing this formidable disease.
The Elusive Nature of Diagnosis
The journey commenced when I discovered a substantial lump during a seemingly normal shower routine back in June 2023. Initially dismissing it as trivial matter, the persistence nudged me towards voicing my concerns to my primary care doctor who recommended an ultrasound examination.
Yet waiting three long months for an appointment casted doubt and raised anxiety levels within me and prompted me to call upon familial support from Phoenix while endu

eat less
Patients meeting in the clinic very often ask what food they should eat. But more important than finding and eating good foods is deciding which foods to eat and how to eat them. “Eat less” is an immutable principle in the longevity diet. Areas with many people living long lives are called “blue zones.” Some common habits were discovered among people living in this blue zone and one of them was eating small meals.
It is also the basis of a detox diet to eliminate toxins from the body and restore the autonomic nervous system. If you eat too much, your body becomes heavy and your five organs become tired. Additionally, the blood becomes cloudy and oxygen levels increase, which accelerates aging. When you eat it, the free radicals generated during digestion are reduced, your body becomes lighter and your blood becomes clearer.
The news of reducing the total amount of food is good, as is intermittent fasting, which involves stopping food consumption intermittently.

67-year-old Jonah suffered from a mysterious pain, but the man found a way to remove toxins from the intestines
At the age of 67, he faced unexpected challenges that alternative medicine helped to solve. Today, having already forgotten his ailments, Mr. Jonas shares his practical experience of wellness.
“In my youth, I had to do a lot of sports, but as circumstances changed, and with age and lifestyle, the scale of daily rhythm and training, gradually gaining more and more momentum, began to go down.
After 14-16 hours of carving wood sculptures every day, my body slowly stagnated due to the lack of physical exertion. I ate only when I felt hungry, and that was mostly semi-finished products, so that I could fill my stomach faster and get back to my favorite work.
To make up for lost time and improve my physical shape, I began to do field work: planting trees, rolling stones, and mowing the ever-growing grass with tireless enthusiasm. When working physically, I even lost track of time and didn’t want to eat at all. While “training” in this way, I finally started to feel a constant swelling in the stomach area, which was getting stronger,” says Mr. Jonas Raiskas from Birštonas.
As the ailments persisted, he turned to the laboratory for tests – it turned out that the health problems were caused by the Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria that “settled” in the stomach and caused the infection.
Antibiotics were prescribed for treatment, but while taking them, Mr. Jonas did not reduce physical exertion. A few weeks later, he felt pain in his lower bac

Professor P. Šerpytis invites you to get to know your heart: “By following a few rules, we will enjoy youth and good health longer”
September 29 World Heart Day is celebrated. On this occasion, Pranas Šerpytis, professor of Vilnius University, cardiologist of the Heart and Vascular Clinic, urges us to look at ourselves and think about how we can change in order to preserve our heart health. What are the seven rules we should follow to avoid cardiovascular disease? What does heart health have to do with good emotions, quality sleep and music? Is it worth reducing high cholesterol, or is it just a fantasy of doctors?
According to the professor, cardiovascular diseases are still one of the main causes of death worldwide. We can change this if we change ourselves – by following a few simple lifestyle rules, we can reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases by 80%.
The professor singles out 7 basic rules for a healthy heart:
- physical activity,
- proper nutrition,
- arterial blood pressure control,
- the right amount of cholesterol,
- maintaining a healthy body weight,
- proper blood sugar levels,
- not smoking
According to prof. Mr. Šerpytis, it is especially important to be physically active. “We need to talk about the benefits of physical activity in all age groups – both in kindergartens and schools and in later stages of life. It is extremely important to promote physical activity in the family, because it is here that the proper behavior of the child is formed, family members themselves must be active and set an example for the children. “Physical activity is a magic pill for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, but we can’t just swallow it – we have to earn it ourselves by taking action,” he says.
The importance of good emotions and quality sleep
According to the professor, chronic stress is also one of the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
“If we experience stress every day, it accumulates and increases our arterial blood pressure. Stress is a good thing, it helps us function, but repeated stress causes negative changes in our body. Constant nervous tension is associated with internal changes in blood vessels and hormones, all of which promote the development of cardiovascular diseases. Unknown to many, chronic stress can also be caused by various chronic inflammations, such as periodontitis. This disease increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases by about 30 percent. Therefore, oral hygiene is also an important factor. Chronic stress can also be caused by other ailments, such as gallbladder or kidney inflammatory processes,” says the cardiologist.
According to him, in order to have a healthy heart, it is also important to surround yourself with positive emotions and get
