‎Happy New Month.
‎Welcome to June.
‎.
‎.
‎At CancerAware, we are on a year-round mission to educate and empower every woman about early detection and risk reduction and we make every month is focused on awareness and support.
‎.
‎.
‎Here are 3 key steps to keep in mind:
‎.
‎.
‎(1) REGULAR HEALTH CHECKS
‎Ladies, don't forget your monthly Breast Self Examinations (at least once a month). If anything seems unusual, consult a doctor immediately.
‎.
‎If you're 40 and above, yearly mammograms are crucial. For women with dense breasts, consider breast ultrasounds and MRIs. If you are below 40, get yearly breast ultrasound scans.
‎.
‎If you have a family history of breast cancer, talk to your doctor about personalized breast screening plans. And everyone, men and women alike must make a habit of getting yearly health check-ups.
‎.
‎.
‎(2) HEALTHY LIFESTYLE HABITS:
‎Incorporate regular physical activity into your routine.
‎.
‎Aim for at least 5 portions of fruits and vegetables a day.
‎.
‎If you smoke, commit to quitting. Be aware that even low alcohol consumption raises your breast cancer risk. So, commit to quitting alcohol too.
‎.
‎Reduce your intake of red meat and eliminate processed meat from your diet.
‎.
‎If you're using hormonal contraceptives, consult your doctor about safer, non-hormonal family planning methods.
‎.
‎Prioritize non-toxic skincare and household products.
‎.
‎Know your family health history and take proactive steps based on the information you gather.
‎.
‎.
‎(3) SPREAD THE WORD:
‎.
‎Share the crucial message of early detection with your friends, family and contacts. You might just save a life.
‎.
‎Remember, early detection coupled with timely and appropriate treatment can make a world of difference when it comes to cancer.
‎.
‎.
‎Let us make every day an opportunity to raise awareness and support one another.
‎.
‎.
‎Have a wonderful and keep the awareness flame alive.
