Breast cancer is the second leading cause of deaths among women in NJ according to the State of New Jersey Department of Health. Women can take control of their overall health by talking about their concerns with a general practitioner and scheduling an appointment to get screened. Examples of health screenings include

• Mammogram
• Breast Ultrasound
• Bone Density Test
• Pelvic Ultrasound
• ABVS (Automated Breast Volume Scan)

"I believe that the greatest gift you can give your family and the world is a healthy you." Joyce Meyer

Women are so busy taking care of their kids, spouses, parents, and work problems; it's easy to lose sight of self-care. Tips for getting back on track are

• Exercising Daily (biking, yoga, walking)
• Eating Fruits & Vegetables (V8 vegetable juice, smoothies, dark chocolate covered fruit)
• Cultivating Friendships
• Making Stress Management a Priority
• Sleeping More

There are a variety of opportunities to use health and fitness apps http://bit.ly/2a6vvU3 to exercise and keep tabs on women's health, including and the Health Tracking Forms and Checklists https://www.healthlinkbc.ca/health-topics/bs1005. (HVI does not endorse these apps)
