May is natural breast cancer prevention month

May 2012 marks the inaugural Natural Breast Cancer Prevention Month. Launched by the Breast Cancer Natural Prevention Foundation (BCNPF), this foundation's motto, "you don't have to cure what you can prevent" encourages natural lifestyle choices to reduce the risk of breast cancer. Currently, the BCNPF campaign is raising awareness of the importance of vitamin D, along with a healthy diet and exercise as key prevention measures. While this advice may seem like common sense, BCNPF comments that many of these strategies are "widely underappreciated despite being naturally intuitive."
