Breast Cancer Awareness: Early Detection is not Prevention
You truly can take charge of your breast health and reduce your cancer risk. Monthly self exams and breast imaging ARE an important part of an overall plan for breast health. These are NOT however preventative or protective against breast cancer.
What are some proactive strategies? There are several.
One is to consume cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi, bok choy, Brussels sprouts and cabbage. They contain a compound called indole-3-carbinol which is converted to di-indoly methane, which induces certain P-450 enzymes in the liver. These enzymes block the production of the more mutagenic estrogen metabolite and enhance the production of the "protective" form.
Not to confuse you, but if you have a thyroid disorder you may need to avoid the crucifers. Find out what approach is best for YOU.
Join me for a free lecture Thursday, October 30th, 6:00-7:15 p.m. at Pura Vida.
Empower yourself and bring a Bosom Buddy! Feel free to contact me with any questions at 303.999.2934 or

A Minute with Molly
On Tuesday, 10/7/08, the United States Government took one large step in the fight against the inactivity crisis by issuing the release of the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans from the US Department of Health and Human Services.
Our industry's governing agency, the International Health, Racquet, and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA), together with the President's Council on Physical Fitness, the American Heart Association, the American College of Sports Medicine, the National Coalition for Promotion of Physical Activity and others, were present to mark this historical event.
Today marks the beginning of a government-led communications campaign to get the word out about the guidelines for physical activity.
Join me in support of this movement -- by raising the awareness of personal health and physical activity in those around you. Just by inviting and encouraging someone you care about, work with, live next to, to join you in exercise, you may change their life. You might even save their life.
The campaign platforms around us are talking a lot about CHANGE. This is one change in the right direction that has my vote.
