Many of us have been blogging and talking about the benefits of exercise and specifically fewer breast cancers in those that exercise, but the breast cancer prevention information has made it to major news http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=116923&page=1#.UHRHV0LDPww. Dr. Anne McTiernan from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center recommends regular aerobic exercise of at least 30 minutes a day. She notes that studies show that regular exercise reduces the risk of breast cancer by 30-40%.
The next best thing to prevention is early detection. First, learn your personal risk with the HALO (http://drwinsett.blogspot.com/2012/04/individualized-risk-assessment-with-naf.html) test if younger than 35 years or, if you have had your 35th birthday, then the BREVAGen Risk Assessment Test (http://drwinsett.blogspot.com/2012/04/more-personalized-breast-cancer.html). These tests allow us to make your individualized breast health plan with both prevention and screening recommendations.
Together we can prevent 86,000 breast cancer cases each year!
