Two Secrets to Help Prevent Cancer

The lifetime risk of developing cancer for women in the United States is greater than 1 in 3 – a concern many of us, men and women alike, share.  However, recent reports presented in the Journal of Women’s Health indicate that less than 10 percent of women who reported that they eat a healthy diet and maintain a consistent schedule of physical activity actually met the standards set by the American Cancer Society.  What’s more, over half of the women surveyed failed to meet the very minimum recommendations for physical activity and daily intake of fruits and vegetables.  For many it’s challenging to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and even more difficult to make a lifestyle change, but here we see even more evidence to support the fact that choosing healthy habits will prolong the time you can spend with your grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Healthy habits mean more time to see the world, check off your bucket list and hold family and friends close. More time to LIVE. It may seem daunting to try to incorporate these standards and will certainly require some thoughtful effort, but it’s worth it and we will do anything we can to encourage your decision to make healthy choices.
