Welcome Back Loreauville-Week of October 6: Breast Cancer Awareness

 

💗 Awareness Starts With You: Breast Cancer Prevention & Support

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and at Village Pharmacy & Wellness, we’re joining millions across the nation to honor the fighters, celebrate the survivors, and remember those we’ve lost. Together, we can make a difference through awareness, prevention, and early detection.

🌸 Early Detection Saves Lives

One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime—but when detected early, the chances of successful treatment are much higher. Make sure to:

  • Perform monthly self-exams and know what’s normal for you.

  • Schedule regular mammograms as recommended by your healthcare provider.

  • Talk to your doctor about any family history or genetic risks.



🌿 Simple Lifestyle Tips for Prevention

Your daily habits can help protect your health:

  • Maintain a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

  • Stay active—aim for at least 30 minutes of movement each day.

  • Limit alcohol and avoid tobacco use.

  • Prioritize rest and stress management.
