Preventive measures:
Guidelines for achieving and maintaining good health, follow these basic recommendations:
· Eat a balanced diet low in fat and high in fiber to guard against cancer and heart disease.
· Eat dairy products and other calcium rich foods to guard against osteoporosis.
· Do aerobic exercise for at least 30 minutes a day 3-4 times a week.
· Do not smoke.
· Practice safe sex. Sexually transmitted disease can lead to a variety of health problems including cervical cancer and infertility.
· Limit your exposure to the sun.
· Stay up-to-date on immunizations.
· Discuss the use of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) with your physician.
· Perform a breast self-exam every month, two to three days after every menstrual cycle. If you do not menstruate, choose a date and perform the exam on the same date every month. Knowing how your breasts normally feel will allow you to notice changes in the future.
