Breast health – Top 10

Breast cancer awareness starts with a healthy lifestyle and early screening habits. Here is a Top ten list about breast health provided by the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation.

1. MAMMOGRAM
Have a mammogram every two years after the age of 50.

2. CLINICAL EXAMS
Go to your doctor once a year for a clinical examination.

3. BREAST OBSERVATION
Listen to your body and be aware of any changes.

4. TOBACCO
Stop using tobacco and avoid second-hand smoke.

5. NUTRITION
Eat healthy. A diet that is low in fat, rich in fiber and well-balanced with fruits and vegetables reduces the risk of breast cancer.

6. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Run, walk, move. A minimum of four hours of exercise a week reduces the risk of breast cancer.

7. ALCOHOL
Moderate your alcohol intake.

8. HEREDITY
Be vigilant. Consult your doctor if there is a history of breast cancer in your family.

9. WEIGHT
Watch your weight. People who are overweight have a higher risk of developing breast cancer.

10. BALANCED LIFE
Lead a balanced life and avoid stress. Physical and emotional well-being leads to good health.
