October 2011  


Greetings!

  

Thank you again to everyone who came to our first anniversary event on September 8!  We had a wonderful time and can't wait to start planning for next year.

 

Our next Healthy Woman event is going to be Thursday, November 3rd at the Lake Charles Country Club. The topic for this event will be Healthy Cooking. I will be sending an  e-mail about the event in the next couple of weeks with more information. 
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

First the bad news: more than 220,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed this year. Then the good: there are approximately 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society. 

 

Regular breast health screenings, such as a 

mammogram, remains the best available method 

of detecting breast cancer early.

Understanding Eating Disorders

The number of eating disorders has risen over the last 10 years and today affect 5 to 10 million women and approximately one million men in the United States.
