The “P.O.W.E.R. of Sure” campaign has these tips for you:
“Prevention – There is no way to fully prevent developing breast cancer. However, healthy lifestyle choices that include a balanced diet, regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight do help to decrease your risk.
Own Your Health Journey – Be empowered to make the best choices for your health and well-being by taking an active role in caring for yourself.
Wellness – A lifestyle of wellness allows you to define what is normal for you. Listening to your body and knowing your normal is vital to identifying when something might require your attention.
Early Detection – Early detection saves lives!
Results & Resolutions – No matter the results, screening mammography equips you with the information you need to make the best decisions for you.”
