Wear it PINK

In an effort to raise awareness and reduce the stigma of breast cancer we wore white with PINK ribbon.The pink ribbon is an international symbol of breast cancer awareness. Pink ribbons, and the color pink in general,express moral support for women with breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in ladies; however, if discovered early, breast cancer is also very treatable.

Research shows that lifestyle changes can decrease the risk of breast cancer, even in women at high risk. To lower your risk:

• Limit alcohol. The more alcohol you drink, the greater your risk of developing breast cancer.
• Don't smoke. Evidence suggests a link between smoking and breast cancer risk, particularly in premenopausal women.
• Control your weight. Being overweight or obese increases the risk of breast cancer.
• Be physically active. Physical activity can help you maintain a healthy weight, which helps prevent breast cancer.
• Breast-feed. The longer you breast-feed, the greater the protective effect.
• Limit dose and duration of hormone therapy. If you're taking hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms, ask your doctor about other options.
• Avoid exposure to radiation and environmental pollution. Medical-imaging methods, such as computerized tomography, use high doses of radiation.
