38 | Everyday Breast Health, Making it a Habit

Did you know that every 2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer.  And that 1 in every 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.  Overall, the rate for cancer in women is 1 in 3, with breast cancer being the biggest offender.  Breast cancer is not a stranger to any of us.  If you have been fortunate enough to not have it yourself, you know someone who has been diagnosed with it.  So, what do we do?  That’s the question isn’t it? Because all we really hear about it is: wear a pink ribbon in October and get your yearly mammogram. Sorry, but neither of those things will keep you from getting breast cancer.  You need a plan. A plan to help prevent breast cancer.  And that’s what this week’s episode is all about.  I will tell you about my breast health plan, something that involves prevention 365 days a year.  You will get some great ideas on what you can implement in your own life to lower your risk factors and help make your body more resistant to disease, including breast cancer.  Different screening options, nutrition, harmful chemicals and stress management are just a few of the things discussed.  Resources I mention:  Podcast episode on thermography.  Inexpensive dry brush that I use for lymphatic drainage.  Liquid iodine I use for topical application.  Favorite non-toxic cleaning products.
