The Plan for Prevention

So, did I convince you to get out and walk or go the gym today?  I did!  And I feel great! 

Let the numbers sink in and think of the opportunity.  

75,000 women prevented from developing breast cancer each year in the US!

In this blog we will consider many steps, and they are not all easy, that one can take to reduce the risk of breast cancer development.  We will consider exercise further, giving a plan to those who want to start, encouragement to those just beginning and reassurance of long-term benefits to those already working-out regularly.  We will consider other major topics that can be modified in the favor of preventing breast cancer from what to and what not to eat, how much to eat, to supplements and prescription drugs.  We will consider, for example: apples, other fruits, soy, aspirin, omega3, vegetables, red meat, alcohol, and other factors that one can change.  

This will be, as you have seen evidence-based.  Sometimes both pros and cons will be presented.  Sometimes controversies will be examined and even a contrarian opinion may be given, or a reaction to a news item. 

My goal is to help women avoid breast cancer.  I hope to show you how.  Please join me and ask your friends to follow along, too.
