Prevention is better than cure

Prevention is better than cure. Just read an article in http://breastcancer.dormitory.com/. It mentions that Walking Can Decrease Breast Cancer Recurrence 40 Percent.I think not just walking but better sleep and regular sports also help to decrease the posibility of breast cancer. Share the article as following hope it will help:

When it comes to further minimizing the chance of breast cancer recurrence, Dr. Carolyn Kaelin, a Harvard surgeon, breast cancer survivor and author of The Breast Cancer Survivor's Fitness Plan, says, "Brisk walking - about 3.0 mph on a treadmill - for three to five hours per week, or about 30 minutes a day, can net big benefits for breast cancer survivors.

It is true that exercising,keeping fit and eating a healthy and balanced diet is always a plus for us to survive not only cancer but many diseases in general.Unfortunately this is not always the case..I have known people who did all the right things,mentioned above and yet they have been stricken with cancer and others who have lived a very unhealthy life style... don't even know what cancer is!.Of course when a woman is a breast cancer survivor it's very important to exercise and do all the positive things you mentioned..It would certainly be an advantage to all.Thank you for sharing your thoughts...it helps in case we do neglect to exercise and keep fit....it is indeed very important to do so.Take care ...

WOW, I wish I had known about this before I got breast cancer and I could have prevented all of this? So, this is what you are doing and what has worked for you, and why you are sharing here?
