Mammogram: Do it regularly
With a fresh case of breast cancer reported from somewhere in the country every 6.5 minutes, it’s important to arm yourself with the right knowledge.
Here are some common misconceptions about breast cancer and the reality.
Myth A family history of breast cancer is the biggest predictor for developing this deadly disease. Reality Less than 10% of breast cancer cases is found to be hereditary. More than two-thirds of diagnosed women have no known risk factors. Age is the largest single risk factor. Myth a monthly breast self exam at home is the best way to detect breast cancer. Reality although experts say you shouldn’t stop doing self exams, is aware that mammograms are the only method proven reliable for early detection. Myth Eating a diet rich in fruits, green vegetables, and whole grains effectively reduces your chances of breast cancer.

Question: My healthy diet is giving me gas. What can I do?
Answer: You’re probably eating more high fiber produce. To break down fiber, your small intestine produces an enzyme called alpha-glycosidase. Without enough of the enzyme, undigested complex carbs will cause gas. Your body will catch up, but until then medicines such as Cisapride or Clidinium Bromide—are a solution. Eating smaller, more frequent meals will also help, because your stomach will have less fiber to contend with.
