Breast "Wellness" Month

October is the Breast Cancer Awareness Month, celebrating the 25th year of awareness, education, and empowerment. I like to promote the positive side of things, so I hope you can support me in calling it the “Breast Wellness Month”.

Taking care of your body can improve overall wellness.
Here are a few tips:
Increase physical activity
Limit alcohol consumption
Stop smoking
Avoid obesity
Eat more fruits and vegetables

Is there anything listed that you haven’t heard before? Probably not. However, they are important!

For instance, Web MD Health News has published an article speaking of the health benefits that soy foods have in promoting breast wellness. The soybean contains all the essential amino acids, also it has Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin C and many other healthy properties.

Here's a simple and tasty recipe for your enjoyment. Live well and be happy!
