Centro Juntos trabaja para mejorar la salud de los latinos en Kansas By Roberta Pardo

l Centro Juntos el Avance de la Salud Latina está alentando a la comunidad hispana a participar en estudios organizados por Juntos y otras organizaciones. Una rama del Centro Médico de la Universidad de Kansas, Juntos aboga por la salud de los latinos en Kansas. “Somos casi como el brazo que representa la salud latina dentro de KU”, dijo Mariana Hildreth, coordinadora de comunicaciones de Juntos. “Trabajamos junto a organizaciones comunitarias para promover la salud de la comunidad latina en áreas rurales y urbanas de todo el estado”. Juntos trabaja para lograr ese objetivo a través de múltiples canales. Una forma es por lo que el centro llama alcance comunitario, explicó Hildreth, donde Juntos crea y ofrece programas, a menudo en colaboración con otras organizaciones comunitarias. Los programas y eventos incluyen la instalación de puestos que ofrecen servicios como pruebas gratuitas de glucosa y alta presión. Juntos también crea programas de investigación que buscan la participación de la comunidad latina. Un ejemplo son las últimas 3A>

The programs and events range from erecting booths to offer services like free glucose and high pressure testing.

uando se trata de la diabetes, el viejo dicho: “una onza de prevención vale una libra de cura” es cierto. Hay dos tipos de diabetes: tipo 1 y tipo 2. El tipo 1, o diabetes insulinodependiente, puede ocurrir a cualquier edad, pero es más común entre niños y adolescentes, como lo afirman múltiples fuentes. Con este tipo de diabetes, el cuerpo deja de producir insulina o suficiente insulina. La diabetes tipo 2 no depende de la insulina y tiende a ser más común entre las personas de 35 años o más, particularmente aquellas que tienen sobrepeso y no hacen ejercicio, según los expertos en atención médica. La Asociación Estadounidense de Diabetes afirma que la diabetes tipo 2 es más común entre los afroamericanos, latinos, nativos americanos y asiáticos americanos. Aunque la diabetes se puede controlar con la medicación adecuada, es crucial evitar desarrollarla. Para reducir su riesgo de desarrollar diabetes, use los siguientes 2A>

Prevention is key to controlling diabetes

hen it comes to diabetes, the old saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a W pound of cure” is true.

There are two types of diabetes: Type 1 and type 2. Type 1, or insulin-dependent diabetes, can occur at any age, but it’s more common among children and teens, as multiple sources have stated. With this type of diabetes, the body fails to produce insulin or enough insulin. Type 2 diabetes is non-insulin dependent and tends to be more common among people ages 35 and older, particularly those who are overweight and don’t exercise, according to health care experts. The American Diabetes Association states that type 2 diabetes is more common among African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans and Asian Americans.

Are parents paying attention?

¿Los padres están prestando atención?

n una sala del tribunal del área de Detroit el 24 de octubre, un estudiante de 16 años de la escuela secundaria de Oxford se declaró culpable de 24 cargos de asesinato, intento de asesinato, terrorismo y violaciones de armas. En noviembre pasado, llevó un arma a la escuela y disparó fatalmente a cuatro compañeros de clase e hirió a siete. Él tenía 15 años. Mientras confesaba sus crímenes, los estudiantes y maestros de otra escuela a 560 millas de distancia fueron atacados. Un recién graduado de 19 años fuertemente armado irrumpió en su antigua escuela secundaria del área de St. Louis. Asesinó a Jean Kuczka, de 61 años, una maestra que planeaba jubilarse y a Alexandria Bell, una estudiante de segundo año “siempre sonriente” que planeaba sus dulces 16. Otros siete resultaron heridos por disparos o heridos después de saltar por la ventana

Un año después, cuando el Mes de Concientización sobre el Cáncer de Mama llega a su fin, Ortega todavía está en tratamiento, pero es menos debilitante. “Decidieron que necesitaba otro año de tratamiento”, dijo. “Pero es más un tratamiento preventivo y para matar cualquier célula que aún pueda persistir”. Su tratamiento fue tan debilitante que Ortega cuenta que no pudo levantarse de la cama durante su quimioterapia. Afortunadamente, dijo, tenía algunos amigos e incluso clientes que se ofrecieron para ayudarla con Clothz Minded, que tiene un horario limitado, pero permanece abierto en 4115 Pennsylvania Ave. en Kansas City, Missouri. Abierto en el 2010, Clothz Minded es “una boutique de colección sostenible” para mujeres, según afirman sus páginas de redes sociales. A pesar de que ha sobrevivido a una pandemia y su lucha contra el cáncer, las finanzas han sido difíciles, dijo Ortega, especialmente porque no ha podido trabajar mientras estaba en quimioterapia. “Hay personas que pueden trabajar con quimioterapia, pero hay otras que no pueden. Y yo era una de esas personas”, dijo. “Estuve en la cama durante todo el proceso”. Una amiga le creó una página de GoFundMe para ayudar a cubrir sus facturas médicas. Eso la ha ayudado inmensamente, dijo. Ortega no rehúye de compartir su lucha contra el cáncer de mama. Y recientemente usó Clothz Minded para crear conciencia sobre el cáncer de mama. El domingo (23 de octubre), su tienda organizó el evento Squeeze, Sip and Shop con Diagnostic Imaging Mamogram Bus para ofrecer mamografías. Ortega se mostró feliz con el resultado, ya que seis mujeres acudieron a hacerse las suyas. “Mi objetivo era que al menos una mujer se hiciera una mamografía, así que superamos eso”, dijo. En su tienda, Ortega también vende una camiseta que diseñó para apoyar el cáncer de mama. “Usaré una parte de las ganancias para iniciar y financiar una organización sin fines de lucro que quiero iniciar y que ayudaría a otras madres solteras en el área de Kansas City que tienen cáncer de mama”, dijo. Después de su diagnóstico de cáncer, Ortega comparte con gusto lo que ha vivido. “Desde el principio, adopté la ideología de por qué esto me está pasando para mí en lugar de a mí, y parte de la razón es que puedo ser una defensora de las mujeres que piensan que no les puede pasar a ellas y seguir impulsando esa narrativa, de ir y hacerse una mamografía o incluso asegurarse de comprometerse a hacerse autoexámenes de los senos todos los meses”, dijo.

recover from the financial hit her store, Clothz Minded, had taken during the COVID pandemic when she received the news: She was diagnosed with two types of breast cancer. A year later, as Breast Cancer Awareness Month winds down, Ortega’s still undergoing treatment for it, but it’s less debilitating. “They decided I needed another year of treatment,” she said. “But it’s more of a preventative treatment and to kill any cells that might still linger.” Her treatment was so debilitating that Ortega recounts she couldn’t get out of bed throughout her chemo. Luckily, she said, she had some friends and even customers that volunteered to help her out with Clothz Minded, which has limited hours, but remains open for business at 4115 Pennsylvania Ave. in Kansas City, Missouri. Opened in 2010, Clothz Minded is “a sustainable collection boutique” for women, its social media pages state. Even though it has survived a pandemic and her fight with cancer, finances have been tough, Ortega said, especially because she hasn’t been able to work when doing chemo. “There are people who can work through chemotherapy, but there are others who cannot. And I was one of those people,” she said. “I was in bed throughout the entire thing.” A friend set up a GoFundMe page to help cover her medical bills. That has helped Ortega immensely, she said. Ortega doesn’t shy away from sharing her fight with breast cancer. And she has recently used Clothz Minded to raise awareness about breast cancer. On Sunday (Oct. 23), her store hosted the event Squeeze, Sip and Shop with the Diagnostic Imaging Mammogram Bus to offer mammograms. Ortega was happy with the result, as six women came to get theirs done. “My goal was to have at least one woman get her mammogram, so we surpassed that,” she said. At her store, Ortega is selling a T-shirt she designed to support breast cancer. “I’m gonna use a portion of the proceeds to start and fund a nonprofit that I want to start that would help other single moms in the Kansas City area who have breast cancer,” she said. After her cancer diagnosis, Ortega willingly shares what she has experienced. “From the beginning, I adopted the ideology of why this is happening for me instead of to me, and part of the reason is so I can be an advocate for women that think it can’t happen to them and continue to push that narrative of get in and get your mammogram or even make sure you’re committed to self breast exams every month,” she said.

consejos: *Aumentar la actividad física: Camine o haga ejercicio por lo menos 30 minutos al día. Su ejercicio puede variar desde actividades de bajo impacto como caminar hasta ejercicios aeróbicos de alto impacto. *Coma sano: Incluya la cantidad adecuada de nutrientes en su dieta, incluyendo fibra y granos enteros. Una alimentación saludable y la obtención de los nutrientes adecuados estimularán su sistema inmunológico. *Mantenga un peso saludable: si tiene sobrepeso, comience a perder algunas libras. *Hágase chequeos regulares: los chequeos regulares lo ayudarán a comprender sus condiciones de salud y pueden ayudar a prevenir futuros problemas de salud como la diabetes. Así que visite a su médico todos los años. El número de personas con diabetes aumenta cada año. Según los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, 37,7 millones de personas la padecen y aproximadamente 8,5 millones de personas la padecen pero no han sido diagnosticadas. Sin embargo, al tomar medidas preventivas como las mencionadas anteriormente, puede evitar estar entre esas estadísticas. Esas onzas de prevención proporcionarán libras de cura.

Even though diabetes can be managed with the right medication, it’s crucial to avoid developing it. To lower your risk of developing diabetes, use the following tips: *Increase physical activity: Walk or exercise for at least 30 minutes a day. Your exercise can range from low-impact activities like walking to high-impact aerobic exercise. *Eat healthy: Include the proper amount of nutrients in your diet, including fiber and whole grains. Healthy eating and getting proper nutrients will boost your immune system. *Maintain a healthy weight: If you’re overweight, start losing some pounds. *Get regular check-ups: Regular checkups will help you understand your health conditions and can help prevent future health problems like diabetes. So visit your doctor every year. The number of people with diabetes increases every year. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 37.7 million people have it and an estimated 8.5 million other people have it but haven’t been undiagnosed. By taking preventative measures like the ones mentioned above, however, you can avoid being among those statistics. Those ounces of prevention will provide pounds of cure.

del tercer piso para escapar. El tirador murió más tarde en un hospital después de un tiroteo con la policía. Su vida ha terminado, pero el dolor que infligió a todos en la Escuela Central de Artes Visuales y Escénicas y a sus seres queridos el 24 de octubre perdura. Las horribles imágenes y el terror los perseguirán para siempre. Ha habido al menos 53 tiroteos escolares en escuelas K-12 en lo que va del año, reportó CNN el 30 de octubre. Estos tiroteos escolares trágicamente prevenibles plantean perpetuamente las mismas preguntas críticas. Estos incluyen examinar la vida hogareña del tirador y el nivel de participación y compromiso de sus padres en su vida. ¿Reconocieron sus necesidades emocionales? ¿Estaban conscientes de su condición problemática y/o comportamiento y lo ignoraron o lo pasaron por alto? ¿Se reduciría la incidencia de tiroteos en las escuelas si se responsabilizara a los padres? La idea está siendo probada. Los fiscales en los tiroteos escolares del área de Detroit han acusado a los padres del tirador de homicidio involuntario. Ignoraron “múltiples señales de advertencia” de que su hijo estaba “con sus facultades mentales en descenso y planeando violencia” y “le dieron la oportunidad de llevar a cabo esa violencia comprándole un arma”. Lo hicieron fácilmente accesible para él y ocultaron su acceso a los funcionarios escolares que habían advertido a los padres del adolescente que estaba teniendo fantasías violentas. Los hechos de este caso son “tan atroces” que requieren enjuiciamiento, dijeron los fiscales. “Hacer que los padres sean penalmente responsables por no asegurar las armas en sus hogares podría alentarlos a ser más responsables”, escribió la profesora de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de Alabama y exfiscal federal Joyce Vance en The New York Times el 8 de febrero de 2022. ¿El enjuiciamiento de los padres del tirador en la escuela proporcionará disuasión? ¿Será una llamada de atención para que los padres presten más atención a sus hijos; pasen tiempo de calidad con ellos y fomenten el diálogo; establezcan fronteras y límites saludables; los motiven a saber qué está pasando en sus vidas, quiénes son sus amigos y las actividades en las que están participando; a que sean consistente con la disciplina; den un buen modelo a seguir; a que les recuerden a los hijos que su amor es incondicional; y finalmente, a que conozcan sus límites y cuándo buscar ayuda profesional con los problemas emocionales o de comportamiento de un niño. Si los padres toman en serio este enjuiciamiento y actúan en consecuencia, los niños en las escuelas de todo el mundo pueden estar más seguros.

n a Detroit area courtroom on Oct. 24, a 16-year-old Oxford High School stuI dent pleaded guilty to 24 counts of murder,

attempted murder, terrorism and weapons violations. Last November, he took a gun to school and fatally shot four classmates and injured seven. He was 15. As he was confessing to his crimes, students and teachers in another school 560 miles away were under attack. A heavily armed 19-year-old recent graduate broke into his former St. Louis area high school. He murdered Jean Kuczka, 61, a teacher planning for retirement and Alexandria Bell, an “always-smiling” sophomore planning her sweet 16. Seven others were wounded by gunfire or injured after jumping out a third-floor window to escape.

The shooter died later at a hospital after a gun battle with police. His life has ended, but the pain he inflicted on everyone at Central Visual & Performing Arts School and their loved ones on Oct. 24 endures. The horrific images and terror will forever haunt them. There have been at least 53 school shootings at K-12 schools so far this year, CNN reported Oct. 30. These tragically preventable school shootings perpetually beg the same critical questions. Those include examining the shooter’s home life and his parents’ level of involvement and engagement in his life. Did they recognize his emotional needs? Were they aware of his troubled condition and/or behavior and ignore or overlook it? Would the incidence of school shootings drop if parents were held accountable? The idea is being tested. Prosecutors in the Detroit area school shootings have charged the shooter’s parents with involuntary manslaughter. They ignored “multiple warning signs” that their son was “spiraling and planning violence,” and they “provided him with the opportunity to carry out that violence by buying him a gun.” They made it readily accessible to him and concealed his access to it from school officials who’d warned the teen’s parents that he was having violent fantasies. The facts of this case are “so egregious” that they require prosecution, said prosecutors. “Holding parents criminally responsible for failing to secure guns in their homes might encourage them to be more responsible,” wrote University of Alabama Law School professor and former U.S. attorney Joyce Vance in The New York Times Feb. 8, 2022. Will the prosecution of the school shooter’s parents provide deterrence? Will it be a wake-up call for parents to pay closer attention to their kids; spend quality time with them and encourage dialogue; set healthy boundaries and limits; encourage them; know what’s going on in their lives, who their friends are and activities they’re participating in; be consistent with discipline; provide a good role model; remind kids that their love is unconditional; and finally, know their limits and when to seek professional help with a child’s emotional or behavior problems. If parents take this prosecution to heart and act on it, kids in schools everywhere may be safer.

investigaciones sobre la investigación sobre los riñones después de un trasplante. Uno de los principales objetivos del centro es brindar acceso a información sobre salud a los latinos en su propio idioma. Para Hildreth, ese trabajo va más allá de traducir material al español. Se trata de relacionarse con la comunidad. “Vamos a donde ellos están”, dijo. Juntos instala puestos en tiendas de carne hispana y tienditas, participa en eventos enfocados en hispanos y está activo en los canales de redes sociales que usa la comunidad. “Hicimos nuestra investigación y le preguntamos a la comunidad de dónde obtienen sus noticias y los resultados dijeron que las redes sociales y WhatsApp”, dijo Hildreth. “Así que estamos activos en Facebook y WhatsApp”. El centro también tiene un podcast, “Juntos Radio”, que presenta conversaciones con profesionales médicos o líderes hispanos sobre temas relacionados con la salud. Los episodios tienen una duración de 30 minutos y se transmiten en vivo cada dos semanas a través de Facebook y YouTube. “Para nosotros, es importante desarrollar un programa integral y sostenible dentro del Centro Médico de la Universidad de Kansas para que la comunidad latina pueda tener acceso a esta información”, dijo Hildreth. Para obtener más información, visite https:// www.facebook.com/juntosks.

Juntos also creates research programs that seek the Latino community’s participation. An example is the latest research on kidney research after a transplant. One of the center’s main objectives is to provide access to information about health to Latinos in their own language. For Hildreth, that work goes beyond translating material into Spanish. It’s about engaging with the community. “We go where they are,” she said. Juntos puts up booths at Hispanic meat stores and “tienditas,” participates in Hispanic-focused events and is active in the social media channels the community uses. “We did our research and asked the community where they get their news and the results said social media and WhatsApp,” Hildreth said. “So we are active on Facebook and WhatsApp.” The center also has a podcast, “Juntos Radio,” which features conversations with medical professional or Hispanic leaders about health-related issues. The episodes are 30 minutes long and are streamed live every other week through Facebook and YouTube. “For us, it’s important to develop an integral and sustainable program inside the University of Kansas Medical Center so that the Latino community can have access to this information,” Hildreth said.

Page 5A. DOS MUNDOS • Volume 42 • Issue 44 • November 03 - November 09, 2022 se están yendo hacia el Partido Republicano. Y cuando se trata de escoger Presidente muchos latinos han optado por el lado republicano. Donald Trump pasó del 28 por ciento del voto hispano en las elecciones presidenciales de 2016 a un 38 por ciento en 2020, según el análisis del Centro Pew. Esto acerca a los republicanos al sueño del expresidente George W. Bush y su asesor Karl Rove de dividir por la mitad el voto latino.

El costo político de prometer mucho (y luego no cumplir)

Cepillín

By Jorge Ramos

stamos tan acostumbrados a escuchar a políticos prometer E tanto y luego no cumplir, que ya es normal suponer que lo hacen por costumbre, por malicia o porque saben que, a la

larga, pocos se acordarán de lo que prometieron. O porque saben que pueden culpar a la oposición por obstaculizar sus buenas intenciones. El argumento va, más o menos, así: yo traté de cumplir, pero no me dejaron, las circunstancias cambiaron o ya se los olvidó. Los candidatos a ocupar algún cargo importante son, particularmente, adeptos a prometer mucho y luego no cumplir. Es fácil decir que hay que cambiar las cosas cuando le toca a otro hacerlo. Pero una vez en el puesto, muchas de esas promesas de campaña van desapareciendo, una tras otra. Estoy seguro de que ustedes pueden recordar a un montón de políticos latinoamericanos y estadounidenses que han prometido el Sol y la Luna y, por supuesto, no cumplieron. En México, de donde vengo, tuvimos un presidente —José López Portillo— que en 1981 prometió “defender como perro” al peso. La frase se hizo famosa en parte porque resultó ser una triste ironía: poco después se desencadenó una terrible crisis económica que duró años y provocó que muchos mexicanos (incluido yo) saliéramos del país. Les cuento esto a unos días de unas elecciones importantes en Estados Unidos. Le llaman “de mitad de mandato” pero en realidad se ganan con las bases partidistas y casi siempre en los extremos de la política. Parece que ya nadie gana elecciones buscando el centro. Están en juego los 435 puestos de la Cámara de Representantes, una tercera parte del Senado, y en varios estados hay varias elecciones, incluyendo de gobernador. La historia, que es muy terca, nos indica que el partido del Presidente en turno suele perder votos y poder en las elecciones de mitad de mandato. Las últimas encuestas que vi —del confiable sitio FiveThirtyEight— pronostican que el Partido Demócrata podría perder el control de la Cámara y también es posible que lo pierdan en el Senado. Si eso pasa, olvídense de una reforma migratoria para regularizar a los casi 11 millones de indocumentados en Estados Unidos. Los republicanos no parecen estar dispuestos a moverse a menos que se garantice la seguridad en la frontera. Pero, como se sabe, eso es imposible. La frontera entre México y Estados Unidos es porosa por historia y naturaleza. Nunca será impenetrable. Ni muros, desiertos peligrosos, un enorme río y miles de agentes fronterizos pueden detener a alguien que busca un futuro mejor del otro lado. Y, para probarlo, ahí están los cientos de personas que lo intentan todos los días, entre ellos refugiados cubanos y venezolanos. El Partido Demócrata nos ha hecho a los latinos promesas migratorias. En 2008, cuando Barack Obama aún era candidato, prometió en una entrevista que “en el primer año (de mi presidencia) tendremos una propuesta migratoria que yo pueda apoyar con fuerza”. ¿En el primer año?, le volví a preguntar. “En el primer año”, contestó. Pero no cumplió (a pesar de que su partido tenía supermayoría para pasar cualquier ley en ambas cámaras del Congreso de enero a agosto de 2009). En 2016, la candidata Hillary Clinton también prometió que en sus primeros 100 días en la Casa Blanca presentaría al Congreso una reforma que allanaría una vía para algunas personas indocumentadas de obtener estatus legal. Pero Donald Trump fue quien llegó a la presidencia. Luego Joe Biden prometió enviar al Congreso una reforma migratoria en su primer día en el cargo. Y lo hizo. El problema es que Biden nunca contó con los votos necesarios para aprobar su propuesta. Y todo quedó en el aire. Una historia de promesas. Una historia de desilusiones. Muchos hispanos recuerdan bien esas ideas de reformas

migratorias de Obama, Clinton y Biden. Y cómo fueron utilizadas para atraer su voto. También saben que, por distintas razones, nunca se cumplieron. Entre muchos miembros de nuestra comunidad hay una enorme frustración y cansancio por esos planes y proyectos que no se llevaron a cabo. Desde 1986 —cuando el presidente republicano Ronald Reagan aprobó la última reforma migratoria— estamos escuchando lo mismo. Y ya no queremos más promesas vacías. Algunos integrantes del Partido Republicano saben esto y lo están aprovechando. “Los hispanos han entendido que los demócratas han jugado con ellos durante 30 años”, me dijo la congresista republicana María Elvira Salazar. “Todo han sido promesas falsas”. (La congresista de origen cubanoamericano tiene su propia propuesta migratoria llamada Ley Dignidad). La congresista republicana Mayra Flores, quien hace poco ganó su puesto en un distrito del sur de Texas dominado históricamente por los demócratas y ahora busca la reelección, me dijo que los demócratas “siempre usan este tema, en cada

Pronto veremos si la tendencia del voto latino hacia la derecha en elecciones presidenciales se mantiene en estas votaciones o si se trata, únicamente, del fenómeno Trump. Pero lo que sí está claro es que prometer mucho e incumplir, no es la mejor manera de ganar votos. Todos, al final, se cansan. Quien mucho promete…

Breast cancer mortality rate drops 43% in U.S. Tasa de mortalidad por cáncer de mama cae un 43% en Estados Unidos

e acuerdo a un estudio publicado en el CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, la tasa de mortalidad por cáncer en Estados Unidos se redujo un 43 % durante tres décadas, como reportó CNN el 7 de octubre y varias fuentes en línea confirmaron. “En total, la tasa de mortalidad se redujo en un 43% entre 1989 y 2020, lo que se traduce en 460.000 muertes menos por cáncer de mama durante ese tiempo”, afirma el estudio. “La tasa de mortalidad disminuyó de manera similar para las mujeres de todos los grupos raciales/étnicos, excepto las indias

americanas/nativas de Alaska, entre quienes las tasas se mantuvieron estables”. Aunque los investigadores encontraron que la tasa de mortalidad había disminuido, la incidencia de cáncer de mama había aumentado desde 2004 en un 0,5% por año. El estudio afirma que el 30% de los casos de cáncer elección, para obtener el voto latino”. Y agregó: “Ellos tienen de mama se atribuyen a riesgos modificables, como la mayoría, también en el Senado, y tienen al Presidente; y, sin el exceso de peso corporal, la inactividad física y la ingesta de alcohol.

ccording to a study published in the A CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, the U.S. cancer mortality rate dropped 43%

over three decades, as CNN reported Oct. 7 and various online sources confirmed. “In total, the death rate dropped by 43% during 1989-2020, translating to 460,000 fewer breast cancer deaths during that time,” the

study states. “The death rate declined similarly for women of all racial/ethnic groups except American Indians/Alaska Natives, among whom the rates were stable.” Although researchers found that the mortality rate had dropped, the incidence of breast cancer had risen since 2004 by .5% per year. The study claims that 30% of breast cancer cases are attributed to modifiable risks, such as excess body weight, physical inactivity and alcohol intake. It also advises that cancerrelated death can be preventable through mammography screenings. Study statistics indicate that 287,850 breast cancer cases will be detected in 2022 and that 43,250 women will die from the disease. “Incidence rates of breast cancer continue to increase slowly in the United States, largely driven by the occurrence of localized and HR-positive disease,” the study states. “This trend reflects in part an increased prevalence of excess body weight and declines in the fertility rate. Nevertheless, breast cancer mortality continues to decline, albeit at a slower pace than during the 1990s and 2000s.” To reduce the risk of developing breast cancer, health experts advise women to limit their alcohol intake, maintain a healthy weight, eat healthy foods, exercise at least 150 minutes a week, limit postmenopausal hormone therapy and get regular checkups.
