National Breast Cancer Awareness Month was founded in 1985 with the original goal of promoting mammography as an effective tool in saving the lives of women. We think it's aim should be ever bigger as we discover that this disease is multi-factorial in origin.
The environmental causes of breast cancer are many. Poor diet, environmental toxicity, lack of physical activity and few outlets for stress that our bodies are poorly prepared to relieve; are forcing too many women to face a life threatening disease at a very young age. According to a large body of evidence, only 1 in 10 women have a genetic pre-disposition for developing breast cancer. The issue isn't one of blame, it's one of awareness that gives us the answers for increasing survivorship and decreasing cancer incidence.
In October's newsletters, we will be highlighting the strong evidence base that supports the lifestyle habits that truly make a positive impact on the course of this disease. First, we will present the data on the role of nutrition and how you can adopt an eating plan that supports this. Secondly, we will show you why we know that exercise is a critcal player in cancer survivorship and how you can incorporate the right kind to help you feel and be more healthy. Please stay connected so we can educate and make a difference in our community and the larger community of breast cancer survivors. Please share Healthlinks with your friends and family so that we may help those impacted by cancer to survive and thrive in their journey!
