Healthy lifestyle tips shared by a breast cancer survivor, doctor

As indicated by CHI Health specialists, one of every 8 ladies will create breast cancer in their lifetime.

Someone recently talked with Tisa Hardin-Partridge, who's a 7-year breast cancer survivor.

Hardin-Partridge says she wants ladies to concentrate on the best way to live healthy lifestyles after they've gone into reduction.

In spite of the fact that she lived a healthy lifestyle before her diagnosis, Hardin-Partridge says she'd always thought she'd end up with breast cancer.

"I just kind knew in my heart that that would happen to me," she said.

Notwithstanding her healthy lifestyle, Hardin-Partridge built up the disease in 2012.

"I think my body was prepared for it," she said. "I think my attitude was ready for it and I just knew it was some things I had to do."

Treatments weren't simple.

"There's a lot of breakdown of muscles and bones, and of course you lost your hair and all that doing chemo treatments," Hardin-Partridge said. "But that chemo treatment just kills a lot of cells and other things you really need going forward."

Following her diagnosis, she developed a breast cancer support group, The Pink Lotus Project.

Their central goal is to give those holistic healing programs and services for individuals who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Hardin-Partridge reveals it was hard to change in accordance with her new after beating the disease.

"I know after treatment and after surgeries, you got a new normal so you kind of gotta gets your body back together," she said. "Really try to figure out what works for you post-cancer."

Presently, she focuses on the mind, body, and soul.

"A big catchphrase now is living my best life," Hardin-Partridge said. "If you're not healthy you can't live any kind of life."

She suggests lifestyle changes, for example, plant-based eating regimens and more exercise.

A message resounded by Dr. Hadi Zahra with CHI Health.

"It's not just about surveillance to ensure that we're finding cancer recurrences, or if we do that therapies are being started at a much earlier phase, but also ensuring the well-being of patients.Dr. Zahra said.

Dr. Zahra prescribes survivors limit alcohol intake, eat more fruits and vegetables as well as get at least 150 minutes of moderate activity every week.

Hardin-Partridge includes, one of the greatest life-saving factors was knowing her family history.

"Just starting a conversation about what's in our families, what's in our backgrounds," she said. "You know we have family reunions we talk about everything but health [we need to] kinda start having a conversation about health and how we can be more healthy as a family."

Dr. Zahra agrees.

"Genetics has also been quite important not just for dealing with existing cancer," he said. "Also providing risk reduction strategies if someone is found to have a genetic mutation that does associate with a higher risk of breast cancer or other cancer types as well."

The Pink Lotus Project is hosting its third annual Pink Pancake Feed Fundraiser.

The association will share holistic healing tips with other breast cancer survivors.
