Nutrition

Many studies show that maintaining a healthy weight and being active can decrease the chance of breast cancer returning. Living a physically active lifestyle and eating a healthy diet are sometimes hard to do, so take it one step at a time.

Food & Drink

The best health benefits are associated with a diet high in fruits, vegetable, whole grains, poultry, and fish.

Healthy diets should be low in processed meats (hot dogs), red meats, fried foods, high-fat, and sugary desserts.

Be very aware of the calories and sugar in the liquids that you drink. If you can’t figure out why you aren't losing weight, try writing down what you eat every day. Self-awareness can help with weight loss.

Exercise (Move!)

It’s more fun to add activity than to reduce your eating, so burn those calories! Regular exercise is easier to fit into your lifestyle than you think. Here are some suggestions:

  • Schedule exercise like a meeting or an appointment—consider this time a “prescription” for your health and recovery.
  • Join a local gym or a Zumba class.
  • Work-out to exercise videos at home if you don’t want to be in public.
  • Try walking outside daily with your partner, family members, or friends.
  • Training with weights is a great way to keep your bones strong.
  • Go dancing—MOVE!
