Style Me Aware February is Cancer Prevention Month. In collaboration with Synergy, we would like to share some information about how to reduce your risk. You know the basics: quit smoking (it’s never too late!), eat healthy, exercise, and drink in moderation. But no matter how healthy of a lifestyle you lead, you may be exposed to risks in your environment in the form of chemicals, pollution, other diseases, or even medical treatments. You also cannot control risk factors such as age, race or genetic conditions. This is why it is important to educate yourself about cancer and get screened. Early detection goes hand in hand with successful treatment.
