Reduce breast cancer risk and get rid of depression

I hope you are enjoying the Fall weather and all the colors around us. I’ve collected some more health information this month that I thought I would share with you…..

Reduce your risk of breast cancer - Here is a simple article on 4 things you can do to reduce your risk of breast cancer. I’ll give them to you and then you can read the article if you want more details.
1. Be as lean as possible without being underweight. A Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18.5 and 25 is ideal.
2. Exercise for at least 30 minutes per day.
3. Limit alcohol consumption.
4. New mothers should breastfeed exclusively for at least 6 months.

Can Omega 3 oils affect your mood? - “Researchers have shown that depressed patients have, on average, lower levels of omega-3 in their blood than non-depressed individuals; furthermore, they have found evidence that greater severity of depression is linked to lower levels of omega-3.”

Depression and Running - Here is a fascinating story of how one lady suffered from severe depression from the age of 6. It tells of her journey through medication and therapy and how running finally gave her the help she needed. Every time she would stop running, her depression would return. I’m sure most of us don’t need this kind of regimen (she ran LOTS of miles), but her story can help us realize that some exercise could possibly help our outlook on life.
