Preventative care, especially in terms of chronic disease, can help us before we ever need it. Physical health and wellness is what enables us to do what we want, whether it’s take time off from work to enjoy friends and family or work harder to get more done. It’s a year-round concern, not just a disease-of-the-month awareness campaign.
As an example, statistics show that 1 in 8 women will get breast cancer, a diagnosis that can disrupt everything from family to work, whether you work for someone else or for yourself. It is expensive in every way - physically, financially and emotionally. These high numbers should get our attention!
Do you know anyone who has had breast cancer? Your sister, mother, daughter, aunt or a good friend perhaps?
