There are steps you can take to lower your risk of Breast Cancer


According to the Mayo Clinic, "Research shows that lifestyle changes can decrease the risk of breast cancer, even in women at high risk.


4 Tips to Lower Your Risk:

  1. Limit alcohol.
  2. Maintain a healthy weight.
  3. Breastfeed.
  4. Limit postmenopausal hormone therapy.


Experts also recommend knowing your breasts. If you notice any changes such as a lump or skin changes, consult a doctor. Also ask your doctor based on your personal and familial health history when you should begin receiving mammograms. Celebrate Women's Health Month by scheduling a mammogram today.
