Breast Cancer Awareness


Hello!

This is your friendly informer:

As we all know this month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I would like to take this time to encourage all the women to go and have your yearly mammogram and for those who have already been doing it, to continue.

It is extremely important to have your yearly mammogram done to make sure you are doing well. Early prevention helps a great deal. In the event something is detected you could be treated promptly and stand a better chance of being a survivor. 

Food for thought: Early prevention could mean having regular mammograms along with some dietary changes. While this may not always not anything bu it can certainly increase your chances for survival. Somethings are proven to be genetic, that may or may not be the case, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't make better choices when it comes to your health. Somethings can become apart of our diet if their not already such as grapefruit and lemons just to name two simple foods. Grapefruit and lemons have been said to be very nutritious for the breast in prevention of  breast cancer. They contain a substance called Limonoids, which are responsible for the bitter taste. Like vitamin C they have antioxidants properties that help destroy free radicals that roam about the body. The Limonoids in lemons also have the ability to help prevent the development and growth of cancer cells. When tested against human cancer cells, Limonoids not only slowed the growth rate of cancer cells they also were responsible for the rapid death of  cancer cells.

I am not suggesting that you ignore the advice and instructions of your physician, if  you are dealing with this dreadful disease, but to be mindful of your diet as well. Do continue to follow your caregiver's instructions.

Until we meet again: Have a Good Lemony Day!
