About 20 people at this open house to first listen to Jill Lewis from UA Nutrition Dept. about healthy cancer-preventing foods, with audience participation in making (and later eating) “energy bites” of oats, peanut butter, honey, choc. chips & coconut flakes. Cancer prevention diet tips were given, with sample meal planning. Then 2 breast cancer survivors stood up & told their journey through cancer to surviving, with help from BCBC and “Sarge” Anita Kellman (unfortunately out of town tonight due to family emergency). New Spring workout session starts on April 8, so sign up soon, costs $80 for 16 workouts, with scholarships available. Exercise as key to preventing breast cancer recurrence was emphasized, with recent Consumer Reports handout.
