Aug. 19, 2003 -- Obese women may be more likely to develop breast cancer largely because their bodies produce more estrogen than thin women do. New research suggests that the increase in breast cancer risk faced by obese postmenopausal women may largely be due to higher levels of estrogens circulating in their bodies.
Healthy estrogen levels contribute to a healthy immune system, improve the function of the brain, and lower the risk of dementia, colon cancer, and macular degeneration. Healthy estrogen levels correlate with lower levels of fat in the mid-section, as well as better insulin sensitivity, increased blood sugar stability, and lower glycation. Other studies have shown the correlation between estrogen levels and quality of sleep, retention of skin thickness and elasticity.
