Don't Eat Too Much

Don't Eat Too Much

Calories in (eating), calories out (physical activity)...Remember, the two have to be in balance, or weight a bit towards "more out than in". Fat produces estrogen and breast cancer is linked to high levels of estrogen in your body.  The more fat you carry, the greater your lifetime risk of breast cancer.  Keep your weight down, stay active and eat a well-balanced diet.  You'll thank yourself.
