Merry Christmas & Happy New Year


Dear Buddies,
As you search for that perfect holiday gift, know that the best present you can give or receive is the gift of health. Your gift to yourself should be to follow all the steps to good breast health. That means Prevention & Early Detection. Don't forget your monthly breast self exams, a regular exam by a doctor or nurse practitioner and your annual mammogram. Plus, if you know there's a history of breast cancer in your family, consider genetic counseling.
The best gift you could receive from a loved one is that they get their recommended cancer screening tests too. And we all must make those lifestyle changes to reduce the risks of heart disease, hypertension and diabetes. In 2008, resolve to exercise more, give up smoking and maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits, veggies, whole grains, fish and lean cuts of meat. And watch those portions sizes.
Remember if you Screen Together, you will Live Together for a very long time.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!!!
Please share this with your Buddy and lets communicate via the BLOG even more in 2008. Something you say of do may help another Buddy.
