More breast cancer prevention ideas!

We have blogged about the positive association between exercise and breast cancer prevention, but not being sedentary between exercise bouts is important, too.  For prevention, don't be sedentary.

I have some ideas for not being sedentary, at the office or home:

• park far away and walk
• walk up the stairs
• walk down the hall to say hi or deliver a message, not email or call
• get up 5 minutes of each hour
• or better yet: sit at your desk on an exercise ball-pink for October
• make the around the "water cooler" time into a "walk and talk" time
• have exercise equipment around: hand weights, bands, etc
• on those long calls, stand up, don't sit

And for early detection: find a clearer picture of your risk with the BREVAGen Risk Assessment Test, or if between 21 and 35 years ask for a HALO Breast Pap Test.  Then we can make your individualized breast health plan!

Together we can prevent 86,000 breast cancer cases each year!
