From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer
Did you celebrate Earth Day this year? Or have you participated in a neighborhood cleanup, a recycling effort, or festival to honor our celestial home? This environmental movement started 43 years ago and is still going. As we protect the air, water, food supply, we protect our own health.

Healthy Habits for Earth Day Improve Health
This past Monday was Earth Day. It would be a shame if we only did good things for environmental health on one day every year. Take these 4 simple steps to improve your personal environment all year long.

Exercise Protects Your Health
While you're cleaning up, gardening, and cooking, be sure to take time to exercise on a regular schedule. You don't have to join a gym (unless you need motivation) because simple things like walking or doing housework can count as exercise. Find out how much exercise will do you the most good.

Does Stress Raise Your Risk of Breast Cancer?
Stress can affect your nervous, endocrine and immune systems. If your resistance to disease is lowered, you might be more prone to catch cold, flu, or to have depression. But it may not follow that you'll get cancer.

You are not stuck with stress, even if you're dealing with breast cancer, because there are many ways of coping with it. In fact, I have named 9 ways to experience stress, along with some ideas for shedding that stress! Give these a whirl.
