Pure Prevention Campaign: Get Out!

Get Outside www.pureprevention.org/act_getoutside.php
Exercise can help protect against breast cancer and many other negative health outcomes. Physical activity reduces your exposures to certain ovarian hormones. Exercise with weights helps build muscle and reduce body fat, lowering your level of circulating estrogen. Lower levels of ovarian hormones and circulating estrogen both decrease your breast cancer risk.  Through annual outdoor physical challenges, the Breast Cancer Fund enables breast cancer survivors and supporters to find strength through adversity and make strides to eliminate the environmental causes of breast cancer. For more informatio n on this once in a lifetime experience go to Climb Against the Odds at www.breastcancerfund.org/climb.
