Good day, amazing people of the hive block. Welcome back to my blog. This is another edition of the #ladiesofhive community. I am so delighted to be participating in this week's prompt.
Self-care is very important. It is very necessary for us to take proper care of ourselves. If there is a disease I am afraid of, it is breast cancer. Currently, there is a high rate of people suffering from breast cancer. According to research, most of the processed foods we consume cause breast cancer. These processed foods are preserved with chemicals. We all know how dangerous chemicals are in the human body. Let me take us back to the 80's. There is little or no patient who suffers from breast cancer because they were eating more natural food. I have heard a lot of breast cancer, and I am so afraid of this disease.
I have not experienced breast cancer before. I have this my aunty who is seriously suffering from breast cancer. It is not easy for her. The thought that she is a breast cancer patient is really killing her. She is just a shadow of herself. Whenever I visit her in the hospital, I feel for her because I know the pain she is passing through. The last time I visited her in the hospital, she called me, asking me, So this is how she is going to die living with her small child and family. She also talked about how she is going to live her business and die just like that.
If you have breast cancer, your means of surviving is very thin. My aunty was not paying attention to her body; had it been she found out earlier, it could have been prevented, but at the final stage, it will only take a miracle for her to survive. When it comes to breast cancer, I am not really enlightened about the disease. My aunt's illness made me see reasons why I could visit a doctor to educate and tell me how I can examine my breast to prevent this disease. Breast cancer is really a dangerous illness that we should try our possible best to prevent.
How to examine your breast.
The best time to examine your breast is after your monthly flow. Lay down with your middle finger and gently press your breast in a small motion. After that, gently press your armpit. Most of the time, the lump may hide in that area. Why you most examine your breast after your monthly flow According to my doctor, there is always change in the breast tissue every month.
Ways to prevent breast cancer.
- Avoiding processed food
- Breast feeding
- Avoid smoke
- Avoid pills for birth control.
Self-care is very important because it will help to detect disease at an early stage. Many people are suffering from breast cancer today because of their failure to examine themselves. Giving yourself a self-care examination will save you from breast cancer. I don’t play with my self-care examination every month.
I advise every woman out there to practice this self-care every month; it will save us from this health challenge. Remember that health is wealth.
