This month is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to bring awareness to a cancer that affects 1 in 8 women. But did you know that there are many things you can do to help decrease your chances of getting breast cancer? Keeping a healthy diet and a physically active life can help prevent cancer. Experts recommend avoiding sugary drinks, limiting alcohol and red meat consumption, and eating a good variety of vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains.
