Hello TCWL Clients!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is a time to support those affected, learn about your personal risk, and check whether you are due for a screening. Everyday habits can support your health and may help lower risk.

Weight & Breast Cancer

After menopause, excess body weight and weight gain are linked with a higher risk of breast cancer. Fat tissue can affect estrogen levels, which is one reason the connection matters. Your provider can help you choose a realistic weight management plan for your health.

Your October healthy habit checklist

1. Move regularly: Call a friend, start with a walk you can repeat. Build toward regular physical activity
2. Build balanced meals: Choose vegetables, fruit, whole grains, and satisfying protein more often.
3. Limit alcohol: Drinking less, or choosing not to drink, can help lower cancer risk.
