Discover the road to breast health and overall well-being
Only about 10% of breast cancer is linked to heredity and genes; the
majority is associated with lifestyle and environmental factors. This
means that you can take control of your breast health-and work to
prevent cancer and many other common breast problems.
Written by two authorities in complementary medicine and women's health
issues, Breast Health the Natural Way is a compassionate guide that
combines mainstream and alternative medical advice, nutrition, exercise,
and mind-body medicine into a simple, five-step program you can follow
to ensure the health of your breasts. With reassuring understanding of
women's concerns, Dr. Deborah Gordon explains:
* Healthy food choices for breast health-including powerful
cancer-fighting sources
* Hormone therapy and how to decide if it's right for you
* Exercise and meditation/visualization techniques to cut your breast
cancer risk
* How to perform a breast self-examination properly
* How to understand and deal with breast changes during pregnancy
* Other breast conditions, including cyclic fibrocystic changes, breast
pain, nipple discharge, implants, breast reconstruction, mastectomy, and
more.
