Simple Steps for Breast Cancer Prevention You Can Start Now

Posted by Kyle Design on 1st Oct 2015

Who do you wear the pink ribbon for? For yourself, as a reminder that life is a precious gift? For your co-worker who needs encouragement in the midst of her breast cancer battle? For your sister who beat it? For your mother who didn't?

We all have a story to share, so let's share it! Wear a pink ribbon during Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October and spread awareness about prevention.

Let's look at the pink ribbon as a reminder to stay on top of our health! One in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 85% of those women will have no family history. Let's spread awareness and get to work on prevention through our lifestyles and early detection, ladies!

Know the lifestyle choices that lower your risk for breast cancer.

Did you know...

...the more alcohol you drink, the greater your risk for breast cancer?

...same with smoking?

...and letting your weight get out of control?

...70% of breast cancer is found through self-exam?

Avoiding alcohol and cigarettes while maintaining an active lifestyle and healthy weight lowers your risk for breast cancer. Performing monthly self-exams helps catch it early. Be sure to also get in for regular clinical exams and mammograms, too. You can never be too careful when it comes to your life.
