Let’s talk about breast health ⬇️
Real prevention is about the lifestyle choices we make every day. Here are 3 to think about:
Avoid Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals
Chemicals that mimic estrogen are commonly in lotions (parabens), plastics (phthalates), pesticides (glyphosate), and even cash register receipts (BPA).
Eat the Rainbow
Colorful fruits, veggies, and spices are rich in antioxidants to support breast health. Some foods that are especially beneficial for breast health include broccoli, mushrooms, and turmeric.
Reduce Alcohol
Alcohol can increase levels of estrogen. Compared to women who don't drink at all, women who have three alcoholic drinks per week have a 15% higher risk of breast cancer.
And...don't forget....
Routine Testing
Get your yearly breast imaging on the calendar! Early detection SAVES lives!
Breast health is not only an issue for women. Men and women alike can benefit from these suggestions.
