WITO goes Pink!

Pink, pink it’s everywhere! I’m sure you know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and at Women in Transition it is also Friends Month. In honor of these important events not only will we be pink all month but we will be exploring useful and enlightening information on both of these subjects!

Who of us does not have immediate family members or precious friends who have been touched by this dreadful disease? According to the World Health Organization fact sheet cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide with breast, lung, stomach colorectal and cervical listed as the most frequent types affecting women.

There is good news. This same report asserts that 30% of these deaths to cancer could be prevented by avoiding key risk factors and early detection.

As we age the risk for cancer increases; it is only wise to avail ourselves of the best and latest known methods for prevention and early detection. For starters, please click on this link and read this concise informative fact sheet with information on prevention, early detection and treatment.

 Here are the top five risk factors to avoid or modify :

• Smoking and tobacco use
• Weight control
• Modify our diets with higher intake of fruits and vegetables
• Of course, exercise!
• Watching our alcohol use.

An equally important factor for reducing the risk of cancer is  early detection and knowing the symptoms!

We women are so busy caring for others we often forget the importance of taking care of ourselves.
