This October, Pura Vida is partnering with Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC) to help bring more awareness to their mission of promoting early detection and a healthy, active lifestyle as the best means of breast cancer prevention.
Want to learn more about early detection and prevention? B4BC’s 7 Steps to Stomp Out Breast Cancer are a great place to start:
1. CHECK YOURSELF
-
Perform monthly breast self-exams (BSE).
-
Report any changes to your doctor and schedule annual exams.
2. BE ACTIVE
-
Surf. Skate. Snowboard. Dance. Do what you love!
3. EAT YOUR GREENS
-
Grub on fruits and vegetables that contain high fiber, anti-oxidants, and other nutrients that help fight disease.
-
Go organic!
4. LIVE GREEN
-
Ride your bike, use eco-friendly products, recycle. A Healthier Earth = A Healthier You!
5. DON’T SMOKE
-
Quit if you do. Smoking harms nearly every organ of the body and contributes to several types of cancers.
6. LIMIT ALCOHOL INTAKE
-
Take it easy on the sauce and get an early start on riding or catching waves.
7. LOVE YOURSELF
-
Activate these steps into your lifestyle and remember…
EARLY DETECTION + ACTIVE LIFESTYLE =
BEST PREVENTION
