Lower your cholesterol levels: More specifically, lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and higher HDL (good) cholesterol. Exercise stimulates production of enzymes to remove LDL from the blood vessels. It also increases circulation, which breaks down and moves it out of the body. The American Heart Association says that walking is the preferred physical activity for obtaining beneficial cholesterol levels since it is so easy, convenient and low-cost. To obtain this benefit, walking must be at a brisk speed that brings your heart rate up for at least 30 minutes.

You don't have to wait until October to become aware. Learn how you can become "Breast-Aware" now!

Breast health and awareness is important at all ages, not just after 40. Second to skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common type of cancer found in women. Every woman needs to know if they are at risk. In recognition of Women's Health Month, here are some easy ways to become more aware of your breasts:
Understand your risk level: Know your family's health history and talk to your doctor about your personal risk of breast cancer.
Screenings: Ask your doctor which screening tests are right for you if you are a higher risk. If you're 40 or older, have a mammogram every year. If you're 20 or older, have a clinical breast exam at least every three years.
Know what's normal for you: See your doctor right away if you notice any of the following breast changes:
--Lump, hard knot or thickening
--Swelling, warmth, redness or darkening
--Change in size or shape
--Dimpling of puckering of the skin
--Itchy, scaly sore or rash on the nipple
