Healthy Ways to Help Reduce Your Risk of Breast Cancer

(Family Features) - With Breast Cancer Awareness month approaching, it is important to shine a light on breast health for women. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and diet may help reduce your risk of breast cancer; however, committing to change your habits is sometimes easier said than done. Here are a few tips that make it easy for women to take care of their bodies and may reduce the risk of breast cancer:
  1. Don't be shy about breast health. Talk to your doctor and don't be afraid to ask questions.

  2. Exercise regularly for at least 30 minutes daily to help maintain a healthy body weight.

  3. Make sure that you are performing regular self breast examinations at home, as well as getting yearly mammograms if you are over the age of 40.

  4. Maintain a healthy diet by incorporating the right foods into your daily routine.

One food that is extremely important to include in a healthy diet is eggs, and Eggland's Best eggs can help provide several key nutrients most Americans lack in their diet.

"With increased amounts of Vitamin A, B2, B12, D, choline and Omega-3 plus lower saturated fat and cholesterol, Eggland's Best (EB) eggs are a tasty and convenient nutrient booster," said registered dietitian Julie Upton, MS, RD, co-author of Energy to Burn: The Ultimate Food and Nutrition Guide to Fuel Your Active Life. "As a healthy breakfast or snack, EB eggs provide good nutrition and energy to help you stay nourished and active all day long."

EB is proud to support Susan G. Komen for the Cure(r), the world's largest breast cancer advocacy organization. For the first time in the brand's history, they will display the Komen for the Cure's running ribbon logo (along with a pink version of their iconic "EB" stamp) on all egg varieties during the autumn of 2010. EB is donating $50,000 to support Komen for the Cure in its promise to save lives and end breast cancer forever.
