October is Breast Cancer Awareness
Month. By now, we have all heard the
usual precautions that we should be taking to prevent this
disease. To give you just a few, they
are:
- Watch your weight
- Do a check of your family’s history
- Stop smoking
- Exercise
- Eat a more varied diet
- Alcohol in moderation
- Do a breast self-exam
I came across one tip that I was not aware of
and I want to share that with you. That
is to get more sleep! Apparently, skimping on sleep can create a
surge of adrenaline that is converted to estrogen. Studies show that over time, sleeplessness creates an
inflammatory response in the body which can promote tumor growth. Technology can overstimulate our brains so be sure to shut down your
electronics at least an hour before bedtime – no phone, no
TV and no computer. If that doesn’t
work, try some diffused lavender essential oil to relax
you.
We will be doing special classes for Pilates
for Pink during the month of October at Sky Athletic Club. As soon as I have that information for you, I
will be passing it along – stay tuned:)
