There?s a long list of celebrities who?ve been diagnosed with breast cancer ? including Kylie Minogue (36), Robin Roberts (49) and author Judy Blume (74). And thousands more find out they have the condition every year.
But what does this have to do with your preteen daughter? Research shows that girls with excess weight and insulin resistance have a greater chance of developing breast cancer. Unfortunately, more than 30 percent of kids are overweight, and that?s a trigger for type 2 diabetes, heart disease and, yes, breast cancer. We know you want to help your daughter stay healthy. Here?s how:
? Eliminate the five food felons. That?s drinks and foods with added sugars or syrups, all grains but 100 percent whole grains, trans fats and most saturated fat.
? Serve up three meals and two snacks a day. Kids with a steady supply of healthy food have fewer binges on fast food and stay trimmer. Make sure she gets plenty of omega-3s (in avocados, walnuts and canola oil) and omega-9s (in olive oil).
? Get her up and moving. Kids 6 to 17 need at least 60 minutes a day of mostly aerobics (walking, playing outdoor games), plus bone-strengthening (jumping rope or running) and muscle-building (gymnastics for kids under 14; light weightlifting for older kids).
When you fuel her with good stuff and teach her how to make smart lifestyle choices, she?ll thank you for decades.
