Team Fitness Gurus: The CDC on What Counts as Aerobic?

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

How can I lower my risk of breast cancer?


     •Control your weight and exercise.

     •Know your family history of breast cancer. If you have a mother, sister, or daughter with breast
        cancer, ask your doctor what is your risk of getting breast cancer and how you can lower your
        risk.

     •Find out the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy.

     •Limit the amount of alcohol you drink.

Can men get breast cancer?

Men can also get breast cancer, but it is not very common. For every 100 cases of breast cancer, less than 1 is in men.

Team Fitness Gurus No. 31: West Nile Virus

Outdoor sports and long walks require being observant of weather patterns and neighborhood safety, but it also requires being mindful about insects such as mosquitoes. For example the CDC  cautions about outdoor activity and the dangers of the West Nile Virus with this slogan:

Love Sports! Afternoon games? Whether you’re out there watching or playing, make mosquito repellent part of your uniform (CDC, 2012).

 

 For more information go to the  CDC West Nile Virus Homepage. If you are unsure about chemical or drug interaction and your health consult your pharmacist or physician.
