Why Does It Matter?
Effective today, mammography facilities are required to provide all patients receiving a mammogram with essential breast density notifications. It’s surprising to realize this wasn’t already standard practice—I’ve been told about my dense breasts throughout my entire “mammo life.”
On a recent episode of the Today Show, I learned just how challenging it is for technicians to detect cancer in dense breast images compared to fatty breast images. Women with dense breasts face a higher risk of developing breast cancer, which is why it’s crucial for us to be vigilant about our breast health and nutrition!
Here’s the truth: We ALL have cancer cells in our bodies at all times. Most of these cells die off, but a diet high in sugar can fuel their growth. If our immune systems are weak or compromised, those cancer cells gain an advantage.
Our goal should be to create an environment within our bodies where cancer cells cannot survive. Here’s how we can achieve that:
✅ Proper diet and nutrition
✅ Smart supplementation
✅ Regular exercise
✅ Sufficient rest
✅ Positive mindset
Let’s commit to doing our due diligence and living our best lives! Together, we can take proactive steps toward better health and wellness.
