It’s easy to feel powerless about breast cancer, but there are simple lifestyle changes you can make right now to put you in a better position to avoid the disease.
Three steps could prevent one-third of breast cancer cases in the U.S., the American Institute for Cancer Research estimates.
One of the most important is to get to – and stay at – a healthy weight. That’s because excess body fat can produce chemicals that promote chronic inflammation, increased blood levels of insulin and hormones that can spur the growth of cells. It creates an environment that allows cancer to thrive, experts say.
Follow the link to see all 3 lifestyle changes that can reduce your risk of breast cancer. |

| Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |

There are so many benefits to running, from improving your general health to easing depression symptoms — and losing track of time as you experience the happy, trance-like runner's high.
Research suggests the trance may be a result of the endocannabinoid system, which is essentially the body's own production of chemical substances that give one the feeling of being "high" or "elated."
It's actually easier for a beginner to get a runner's high. The basic formula is to try to run at least 20 minutes at 70-85 percent of your maximum heart rate.
Follow the link to see more tips on how to achieve a runner’s high, including why it’s better to give yourself a workout that’s set in minutes rather than distance. |
