This review is from: 101 Essential Tips: Breast Care (Paperback)

For the busy modern woman, this book presents the facts quickly! There is great awareness when it comes to Breast Cancer, but where can you find the information you really need to make your personal life better?

This book includes information on:

Breast Anatomy
Developing Breasts
Size, Shape and Support
A Healthy Lifestyle
The Sensual Breast
Pregnancy & Breast-Feeding
Caring for Your Breasts
Benign Breast Changes
Breast Cancer
Treating Cancer
Life After Treatment
Cosmetic Surgery

I was very surprised to see that alcohol is said to sometimes indirectly cause breast cancer. Women who smoke are also at greater risk for breast problems. For women who are breast feeding, there is an interesting section on how milk is secreted from the blackberry shaped alveoli.

Nice compact book on Breast Health.

This review is from: 101 Essential Tips: Breast Care (Paperback)

Absolutely essential book for every woman to own. Purse sized, easy to read in one sitting, with terrific pictures and illustrations. Exercise tips, advice on doctors, disease, everyday problems, this little book has it all. Wonderfully detailed self-examination portion, easy to understand. Explanations of just how breasts work, what's normal; what's not. A keeper.
