Cancer Awareness Month
Week 4

Take One Step

The last 3 weeks you have received an email each week concerning different ideas and suggestions to be cancer aware and focus on cancer prevention.

Now it is your turn.

Think about all of the suggestions you have received over the last 3 weeks and decide on one – just one – lifestyle change that you are going to make in the interest of cancer prevention.

If you decide to make more than one – that’s great! But 1 is all that is asked for. Just as a reminder, here are some suggestions to help you take that One Step:

· Increase the amount of fruits and vegetables you eat each day
· Reduce your intake of red meat by one meal each week (but if you don’t eat red meat, think of something else!)
· Reduce your alcohol intake by one drink each week
· Clean out your refrigerator and pantry – focusing on stocking up on healthy food choices
· Go to the grocery store with a shopping list and stick to it
· If you have a sweet tooth, direct it to fresh fruit
· Walk or exercise – and if you already do, either increase the number of times each week – or the amount of time each time you walk or exercise
· Enjoy the New Mexico sun but be careful of overexposure
· Pick out two foods from the ‘foods that fight cancer’ list and add them to your shopping list
· This is your choice – come up with your own One Step…..

Good luck and be healthy!
