Race for the Cure - Join our team

This newsletter is personal and dear to me and most likely to you also.

My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer a year ago, shortly after my grandmother passed away with skin cancer. (Not good genetics)

Breast cancer affects too many women, and even some men in this country. Most likely you know someone who has fought it, or more sadly lost a battle with it.

My goal with this newsletter is to give you a few tips to help you stay healthy and prevent you from having it.

Some of the factors that affect this disease and many others are these:
* Genetics
* Obesity
* Poor diet
* Lack of exercise or activity

Here is how you can help yourself and your loved ones stay healthy and strong.

1- Exercise – exercises daily. Everything from a brisk walk to a strenuous circuit will help. Keeping your muscles firm, your heart healthy, and your blood pumping keeps you on the positive side of health.

2- Limit your Fat consumption – Be aware of what foods you are putting in your body. A high fat diet, not just the greasy and fried foods, but the high fat beef or dairy will be difficult for your body to process. This can lead to extra pounds and extra pounds lead to possibility of other diseases.

3- Watch your weight – Obesity is still on the rise in this country. If you are overweight you increase your chances of disease tremendously. Not just cancer but diabetes and heart disease too. Check with your Doctor to if you are not sure where your weight should be.

4- Supplements – this one is huge with me. I believe strongly in a quality multi vitamin with whole food ingredients. Supplements are designed to help bridge the gap of what your food provides and what your body needs. This is not an area to skimp on price. Go for the quality. You deserve it. See my site for my recommendations.


You are too important to lose early. Please see your Dr. regularly to ensure your weight is in check, and your overall health is good.

And ladies, please follow your Dr Recommendation for mammograms and check-ups.

We love you and need you in our lives for a long time.
