• Don’t Ignore The Numbers: According to the “Cancer Statistics, 2010″ , a shocking 38% of U.S. women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. This means that no matter what race, size or genetic background we have, we can’t ignore doctors visits. Make sure that you take annual check-ups (especially routine mammograms) very seriously.

• Think Positive: If you hate doctors visits and procedures, try associating them with something positive so you’ll be less likely to put it off. For example, ask your closest friends to get checked out annually in the same month, and meet afterwards for dinner. Mammogram Margarita night? No one wants to miss that!

• Make Yourself A Priority: It’s hard for many women to take time for themselves while raising families and pursuing their careers, but if we don’t take care of our health now… who’s going to be taking care of us later? Take the time to fit a little physical activity in your life every day (even if it’s only 20 minutes), and strive to eat a variety of vibrant, fresh foods.
