Free Month for Cancer Awareness
Far too many times I see women in my office who have not had a mammogram done out of fear of what they might find. They use the excuse that they are too busy, or say that they will go, but they are in no rush because they don’t have family history. I have news for everyone that doesn’t already know this – more than 50% of cancer today is environmental. You don’t have to have a family history to get cancer. But at the end of the day, more people do not go for the life saving test. Your friends, neighbors, parents, sisters brothers etc. – they just don’t go. They don’t go for one reason – FEAR. The fear of finding something. We know when we go for any test annually that it’s only a matter of minutes that can change our life. One test and we can become a cancer patient. Yes, I agree, that’s scary. But it’s even more scary to put it off and not know.
Tips for A Healthy Fast
This weekend is the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement, which means atoning for the sins of the past year by refraining from eating and drinking, among other things, for 25 hours. Though it is possible to safely fast for this amount of time physically, mentally it might prove difficult. After our body has finished digesting our last meal, our brain will send out signals of hunger. Dealing with that feeling can get you through the day, but it is the lack of water that can really affect your body. Water can’t be stored like glycogen, a resource that our body gets from food that we use for energy. We are constantly losing water every day, and that is why it is especially important to saturate yourself with water before you fast to help lighten the effects of dehydration such a headaches.
