BREAST CANCER

Can You Reduce Your Risk of Breast CANCER :

1. Check your body Mass Index (BMI) to determine if weight has become health risk.
2. Match your DIET to your body’s requirements. Learn to CONTROL calories and portion sizes, make recipes leaner, and eat infrequently from fast food restaurants.
3. Color your diet with a large variety of colorful, cancer-fighting FRUIT and vegetables.
4. Protein provides a powerful signal to the brain providing a longer sense of fullness. Eat lean protein with every meal. The right source of protein is essential to controlling your hunger with fewer calories and necessary to maintain your lean muscle mass.
5. If you want to enjoy a lifetime of well-being, exercise is a key ingredient. CHILDREN should be active for an hour each day. Use the stairs instead of the escalator or lift at work, park your car in the parking bay furthest from the super marketing and don’t use the remote control to change TV channels.
6. Get support to ensure you develop a healthful eating plan and reach your goal weight. In order to establish new habits, most people respond well to some form of consistent encouragement and coaching

Being overweight or obese has been identified next to SMOKING, as the most preventable major risk to developing cancer. Even small weight losses have been shown to have beneficial health effects. So it’s never too late to start and you can never be too young or too old to be concerned about your health and do something about achieving a more healthy WEIGHT.
