I think supplements are a great addition to a healthy diet to ensure you’re intaking all the right vitamins and minerals. What you need completely depends on what your goals and concerns are. Supplements are very individualized so it’s important to talk with your doctor about which ones are suitable for you.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to raise awareness about the impact of breast cancer. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among American women. All breast cancers arise from genetic mutations in the body but only 5-10% of breast cancers are inherited from your mother or father. 90-95% of breast cancers are due to genetic abnormalities that occur during the natural aging process. Healthy lifestyle choices are important in preventing and reducing the risk of developing breast cancer.
