πŸŽ€ Know What’s Normal for YOUR Body πŸŽ€

You know your body better than anyone else. Paying attention to changes can help detect breast cancer early β€” when it’s easier to treat.

Talk to your healthcare provider right away if you notice:
βœ”οΈ A new lump or thickening
βœ”οΈ Swelling in part of the breast
βœ”οΈ Skin irritation or dimpling
βœ”οΈ Nipple discharge (not breast milk)
βœ”οΈ Nipple turning inward
βœ”οΈ Redness or flaky skin
βœ”οΈ Pain that doesn’t go away
Early communication can lead to:
πŸ’— Earlier detection
πŸ’— More treatment options
πŸ’— Better outcomes
πŸ’— Peace of mind

Do not wait. If something feels different, say something.
Trust yourself. Schedule regular screenings. Speak up early.

If you have concerns or need to schedule an appointment, we’re here for you.

❀️ Future Fit Friday: Week #4- Move Your Body, Grow A Strong Heart ❀️

πŸ’ƒπŸ½πŸ€πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈ Move Your Body, Grow a Strong Heart! ❀️πŸ’ͺ

Parents & Caregivers β€” let’s make heart health FUN!

When kids run, jump, dance, and play, their hearts beat faster β€” and that’s a GOOD thing! πŸŽ‰ It means their hearts are getting stronger and healthier every day.

Take a few minutes to review this flyer together and ask:
❀️ What activities make your heart beat faster?
🚲 Do you like riding bikes, playing tag, dancing, or shooting hoops?
⏱️ How can we fit in 30 minutes of movement today?

Make it a family challenge!
🌟 Have a 30-minute dance party
🌟 Go for a family walk or bike ride
🌟 Play tag or basketball together

When children understand that movement = a strong heart, they’re more excited to stay active. And when families move together, everyone benefits! πŸ’›

Let’s build strong hearts and healthy habits β€” one fun activity at a time!

For more information or to schedule a checkup, contact Santee Health & Wellness Center at 402-857-2300 πŸ“ž
