Pure Prevention
Only 1 in 10 women who have breast cancer have a genetic history of the disease. What we put on and in our bodies can make a difference for our risk of breast cancer and for the health of our children. By learning the facts, we can make smart choices about the products we use every day.
That’s why the Breast Cancer Fund has partnered with Luna Bar to launch Pure Prevention, an exciting new campaign to raise awareness about the environmental causes of breast cancer and empower us to ask, act and live to reduce breast cancer.
Pure Prevention seeks to help women identify the environmental causes of the disease and to inspire them to incorporate in their lives 5 Tips for easy, everyday ways to reduce breast cancer risk:
Tip #1: Create a Healthy Home - Make your home a chemical-free sanctuary. Reduce your exposure to harmful chemicals by choosing chlorine-free and bleach-free cleaning products.
Tip #2: Eat Smart - What you put in your body matters. Read labels, and when possible, choose organic, anti-oxidant and fiber-rich foods and hormone-free meat and dairy products.
Tip #3: Choose Safe Cosmetics - Cosmetics and personal care products often contain chemicals linked to cancer and birth defects. Learn which toxins put you at risk and how you can make smarter purchases.
Tip #4: Get Outside - Enjoying the outdoors reduces stress and boosts the immune system. Let nature be a reminder to live simply, healthy and well.
Tip #5: Join the Campaign – Help us spread the word about breast cancer prevention. Share your knowledge with family and friends by showing them simple, everyday steps they can take to help reduce their risk. Link them to pureprevention.org to learn more and get involved.
