Introduction

Do you know just how much control you have over your breast health? This question is the subject of "Better Breast Health for Life! ". The title itself conveys two messages. The first suggests that better breast health supports life. The second suggests that better breast health is a journey one that lasts a lifetime.

It is our genuine intention that as you experience this material you feel energized and empowered to take charge of more of the risk factors for which you have some control. While it may not be practical or possible to manage all of the factors in your life, reducing just one influential factor may have positive and long-lasting effects. On the other hand, it is important to acknowledge that in spite of our best efforts, some breast cancers will occur. In these instances, regular breast screening and early detection are critical.

Part Two explains the risk factors that contribute most to the disease by category: genetic, estrogenic, environmental, health & lifestyle, and dietary, and what you can do to reduce these risk factors in your life.
