October, also known as Pink Month, is here. We invite you to take advantage of these days and share your thoughts on menopause and breast cancer, remember that as women we have an obligation to take the best possible care of ourselves.
This week's first prompt is a very sensitive question yet very important. Menopause and breast cancer are peculiar to women. Pink month is an opportunity to show love and solidarity to cancer survivors, those battling with it and to educate and share vital information on how to take precautions as regards this dreaded disease.
A woman's life is stressful in nature, from menstrual circles to childbirth,to taking care of the family plus other family and personal duties. That is the reason every woman should prioritize their health. No one will take care of you better than you, it is our sole responsibility to do that. So many women around the globe have lost their lives as a result of breast cancer which is sometimes caused by menopause due to hormonal changes.
Menopause isn't a disease, but a phase in women's life as a result of aging, though it comes with a lot of challenges ranging from emotional changes, anxiety, depression, hot flashes,tension and aggressiveness just to mention but few. Which also poses a threat to health if not properly taken care of.
It is a natural phenomenon, proper health care, early preparation, love and understanding to/from people around towards women in this category go a long way in easing these challenges that come with it. As it's also necessary it is discussed with family members and friends and not to shy away from it as problems shared are somehow solved. It's normal, one cannot avoid it.
Breast cancer, on the other hand, has claimed so many lives which might have been saved if it was detected early enough. Some, due to fear of being diagnosed with it, choose not to visit the doctor until the situation gets worse which is not helpful at all. While it is safe to self examine for early detection and possible cure. It is safer to devise avoidance mechanisms by practicing a healthy lifestyle.
Cancer cells thrive in an acidic environment but can't survive in an alkaline rich body. It's important we minimize or avoid the consumption of foods and drinks that have high acidity, like processed sugar which could be found in carbonated drinks/alcohol and processed foods which are low in nutrients. We do ourselves more good when we eat healthy foods and drinks that are rich in alkaline and antioxidants that protect our body cells from damage caused by free radicals. Which also act as bodyguards to our cells.
Practicing a healthy lifestyle also includes allowing the breast breath. Yes, some women wear bras to sleep, while some wear too tight ones; these are not healthy practices. It's about time we wake up to our obligations of taking proper care of ourselves because that's our responsibility and self love. We can't claim to love ourselves and treat our body with levity.
Menopause is not an illness, it's a phase which shall also pass, feel free to talk about it to avoid causing harm to your health. Eat healthy, exercise, rest, self-examine, and if you notice any symptoms of cancer, do not hesitate to see a doctor as early detection makes a big difference. Prioritizing your health is your responsibility and self love.
These are my thoughts on the first prompt.

Self care is very important, it helps to dictate what is wrong on time but sometimes most times some people are too busy and don't care about their health.
You're correct . No matter how busy we are we should make our health the primary duty.
