An Apple A Day Fit Tip 10/10/11

I stopped by McDonalds this morning (yes, just like my brother) and ordered the oatmeal with raisins and apples.  I was reminded that apples are so commonplace, we sometimes take for granted their health benefits.  Apples have roughly four to five grams of fiber to help with digestion, and a modest amount of calories.  They are a good source of Vitamin C, and can help to lower LDL (lousy) cholesterol.  They can even reduce the rate for metabolic syndrome.  Think about eating an apple before you workout and you may experience an increase in endurance.  With an apple variety for every letter of the alphabet there’s a flavor for everyone, mine… Granny Smith.

Girl Up

One in eight women will develop breast cancer.  So what can we do to lower our breast cancer risk? 

1.       Lose the extra pounds-being overweight or obese can raise our risk for breast cancer, especially after menopause.

2.       Exercise- Get moving.  Forty five to sixty minutes of activity provide the most breast cancer protection.

3.       Cut down Alcohol Use-There is a clear connection between alcohol use and an increased risk for breast cancer.

4.       Be Cautious about Hormonal Therapy- While you may be dealing with those pesky hot flashes, have a candid conversation with your doctor, and do some research before beginning an HRT regimen. 

5.       Consult Doctor about Oral Contraceptives-the Pill may add to the risk of breast cancer.  However, research shows that after ten years the risk is back to average.

6.       Consider Breastfeeding-It’s not only good for the baby, but it lowers estrogen and the risk of breast cancer.

Remember you are your greatest ally in the fight against breast cancer.  Do your monthly self breast exams, and if you haven’t scheduled your mammogram… do it today.  Live well my sisters.
