Be Different

October - Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Breast cancer is a vital killer, especially to women. It is always better to prevent than to cure. You would like to treasure your life by not putting risk on such a disease and bring sorrow to your love ones. I lost my beloved late mom because of this vital disease. So please, ladies out there, take care of your breasts before it is too late.

The NAFASG Team had written some good advices that I would also like to share it here:

1. Avoid too much of alcohol. Limit yourself to drinking one glass or stop drinking it for good!

2. Maintain an acceptable weight because obesity is one of the factors that can heighten the risk of breast cancer. Improve on your dieting by restricting your fats intake.

3. Be more physically sound by carrying out regular exercises. Exercising contributes to the maintenance of your weight, thus reducing the risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer.

4. Go for a mammogram for early detection of breast cancer. You should do so especially when you have reached the age of 50 and above.

5. Avoid sleeping with your bra on. Wearing a bra for more than 12 hours can contribute to the growth of cancer cells in your breasts. And do not keep on wearing the same bra for a few days. You should change to a brand new bra every single day.

That’s another good and strong reason for me to keep my body weight at the average. I was really plump a year ago and this obesity leads to some feminine sickness. I was advised by my doctor to reduce weight, yet that time I didn’t even bother until the day I met Orange. I wanted him to feel good as well as myself, therefore I start my diet and finally reduced 10kgs! Although I still have a rather round belly, I’m still slowly trimming a better figure, also to a better health.

I was actually tagged by Nafa on this issue.
