4 Eat-Healthy Rules
to Reduce Your Breast
Cancer Risk:

1. Don't eat too much -
avoid becoming overweight

2. Eat low fat. Fat is high
in calories. resulting in
obesity, a risk factor

3. Dig into fruits and vege-
tables: (spinach, carrots,
mangoes. cantaloupe, papa-
vas)

4. Watch'the grill. There's
some evidence that eating
charred meat might in-
crease breast cancer risk.

Real Age
ARE YOU As YOUNG
AS YOU CAN BE?

|. Longer lives don't mean
much if they aren't active
lives,
2. Getting older is one of
life's promises. and there's
no stopping it.
3, Cancer. arthritis. heart
disease are often the hall-
marks of aging.
4. Aging is not one thing
but many things. Your ar-
teries get clogged, arthritis
fares'up. Your parts start
to wear DOWN. AND
YOU DON'T HEAL AS
QUICKLY AS YOU
USED TO.
5. Stop thinking about
health as the prevention of
disease but start thinking
about it as the prevention
of aging.
6. The better condition you
are in, the younger you
say. the better prepared
you will be to fight the
factors that age you. When
you take care of your body,
time slows down. You will
have more time; time to be
\-hat you want to be and to
lo what you want to do.

T. People who are still able
to live young even when
their calendar age is old

\ eren't necessarily born
vith "good" genes nearly
a» much as they have made

| 8. The better you take careT
| .of your arteries andthe . -
| younger they are, the
|} younger you will be. "
9. The environment in

any of the things to keep

which we live, the sub-
stances we put into our
bodies, the risks we take,
and the stresses we un-
dergo, can all contribute to
aging.

10. Breathing secondhand
smoke, eating foods high
in saturated fats, working
in an unsafe environment,
so using a cell phone while
driving can all increase the

- likelihood that our lives

will be shorten of more

ridden with illness than

they would be otherwise.

| 1. When we think only
about disease, we forget
about other factors that are
outside our bodies that can
make us healthy. Some
choices: becoming a life-
long learner by enrolling in
classes, reading for other-
wise stimulating the mind,
can help you live longer.
Having fun with your
friends can do the same.
12. Are you as young as
you could be? Master these
most difficult
changes;Keep blood pres-
sure low, stop smoking,
maintain a constant desir-
able weight, reduce stress,
cut back on excessive con-
sumption of alcohol, over-
come a drug addictions,

_ recover from a severe emo-

tional trauma
13. High blood pressure,
called hypertension, is one

of the leading causes of
heart attack, stroke, heart
failure, and kidney failure.
The ideal blood pressure
for maintaining youth and
vigor is I] 5/76,

14. How do you achieve
ideal blood pressure? Eat a
more nutritious diet that is
low in saturated fat. Get
more exercise. Lose
weight. Stop smoking, Cut
your sodium intake to less
than 1'600 mg a day, in-
crease your potassium, cal-
cium, and magnesium
intake, avoid stress and
consider strategies to,
reduces stress, such as in-
creasing social connections
or using relaxation therapy,
biofeedback methods or
yoga. If your blood pres-
sure is close to or higher
than 140/90, talk to your
doctor bout taking medi-
cine to reduce hyperten-
sion.

15. The Immune System
protects you from disease.
Keeping your immune
system going and strong
helps keep cancer al. bay,
Cancer is the second lead-
ing killer in the United
States and may soon sur-
pass heart disease as num-
ber one. It is'far easier to

~ prevent cancer than to cure

it.

16. Prostate cancer kills
more men than anything
but heart disease and lung
cancer: 250,000 new cases
are diagnosed a year, afid
40,000 men die from pros-
tate cancer annually.
Cancer is a disease of
one's own body gone awry.
17. Cancer is the second
leading cause of death in
the United States.
