Every Month Requires Breast Cancer Awareness

10/25/2014

1 Comment

 
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we would like to do our part and encourage all of our clients to be vigilant about breast cancer detection. If you notice any changes in your breasts, including lumps or changes in the skin, talk to your doctor. Educate yourself about mammography and thermography – both are screening tools and Vive! has written about thermography as an important alternative or supplement to mammography. If you would like more information, please consult our article on thermography on our web.
Here are some important breast cancer prevention tips from the Mayo Clinic: (http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-living/womens-health/in-depth/breast-cancer-prevention/art-20044676)
• Limit alcohol to no more than one drink a day.
• Don't smoke.
• Control your weight, particularly after menopause.
• Be physically active.
• Breast-feed as a protective measure.
• Limit dose and duration of hormone therapy, using the lowest dose that works for you.
• Avoid exposure to radiation and environmental pollution.
