Here’s what we can do to lead a healthy lifestyle and delay the cancer:

  1. Get screened–and consult your doctor how frequent you should have it done.
  2. Check yourself regularly (breast self-exam) and report any changes to your doctor.
  3. Eat more vegetables and and fruits. Their fiber, antioxidants and other nutrients can help.
  4. Work out. Yoga. Go to gym. Involve in sports. Do whatever you love (in my case, I love the muscle-churning Pilates).
  5. Watch the scale. Extra weight=extra risk.
  6. Do not ever think of smoking. Do quit.
  7. Drink less and live more.

Pilates and yoga

I tried pilates for abdomen last time (in Women’s Weekly August 2008) and it worked. So I searched for its book in MPH. Unfortunately, the one that I saw on the shelf is so expensive. Rm60 for A5 size book. Last week, I was trying to tracked Mas, but on the way, I found this huge book of pilates and yoga, costs at Rm29.90.

Without any delay, I grabbed and paid. The pictures are helpful and vivid. It’s not a substitute for yoga guru. Anyways, it’s a good try. Worth it.
