How to Do a Breast Self-Exam and a Cancer Prevention Shopping Guide

As women, wives and mothers we need to make sure we are healthy so that we can take care of our loved ones. What is one of the most effective and easy ways to protect your body? Monthly breast self-exams.
October is national Breast Cancer awareness month. While mammograms can help you to detect cancer before you can feel a lump, self-exams make you more familiar with how your breasts look and feel so you can alert your health care professional if there are any changes.

Maintaining a healthy diet is an essential part of being proactive with your 
health, and eating certain foods can actually help decrease your risk of 
developing breast cancer!
