Choose You is a movement created by the American Cancer Society that encourages women to put their own health first in the fight against cancer. The movement challenges women to make healthier choices, and supports them in their commitment to eat right, get active, quit smoking and get regular health checks.
The Choose You Movement shines a light on a hidden issue: that while one in three American women will get cancer in her lifetime, about 50% of cancer deaths could be prevented if more emphasis were placed on early detection and healthier lifestyles including maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise and avoiding tobacco.
In the constant struggle between family, work and self, we know how difficult it is to focus on oneself. To help change this, American Cancer Society has developed the Choose You Commitment. Powered by stickK, this online program provides tools and support to enable women to commit to and achieve their personal health and wellness goals. Research shows that individuals who receive support in making positive choices are up to 5 times more likely to maintain healthy habits. The Choose You Commitment provides this support.
By making a Choose You Commitment today, you are helping to change the focus and make personal health a priority — and helping in the fight against cancer.

My mom died from skin cancer, so I took note of that, and use sunscreen when outdoors at all times. I spent many years outdoors without sun protection, and it shows. I have turned my way of thinking and doing around, and try my best to protect my skin, drink plenty of water and try to eat organic foods as much as possible. Growing my own foods for my family and myself has helped us to get our daily requirements of vegetables. It's a good start for us. I subscribe to your email newsletter.

I try to make a point of drinking at least one whole glass of water as soon as I wake up in the morning to kickstart my day. I then try to drink a bottle of water over the course of every two hours during the day. I don't always succeed, but trying has increased my water intake greatly!

We signed up for a weekly farmer's market basket. Fresh, inexpensive produce and it forces us to eat more fruits and veggies.
I'm a subscriber, krobertsonnotar(at)comcast.net. I'd love to say that i do choose me but it's a constant struggle. I appreciate the American Cancer Society creating a campaign to remind us (me) to focus on our own health. I for one definitely need HELP!

ReplyDeleteI try to eat less fat and less red meat.
I try to maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating healthy foods (e.g. fresh steamed spinach & a tomato salad for lunch today), drinking more water daily (I constantly have to remind myself to do this)and trying to "cope" with everyday stresses (don't we all have some of this) by remembering to breathe deeply with my eyes closed while focusing my mind to "see" a serene meadow filled with wildflowers dancing in the breeze. This last element really helps me at dentist or doctor visits. :-)
