Breast Cancer Awareness Month



Tips for breast cancer awareness:

  • Get regular screenings

    Schedule annual mammograms and other screenings as recommended by your doctor. Mammograms can detect cancer early, when treatment is most effective.

  • Maintain a healthy weight

    Obesity is a risk factor for breast cancer, especially after menopause. 

  • Eat a healthy diet

    Eat a balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, and limit red and processed meats, sugary drinks, and fatty foods.

  • Stay active

    Research suggests that physical activity can reduce the risk of breast cancer.

  • Limit alcohol

    Alcohol use is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer.

  • Manage stress

    Stress can negatively impact your overall health, but there are ways to reduce it, such as deep breathing, relaxation and exercise.

  • Breastfeed

    Breastfeeding for at least one year may slightly reduce the risk of breast cancer.

  • Self-exams

    Women under 40 can perform monthly self-breast exams, ideally right after their period.
