Alcohol & Breast Cancer Risk 🍷➡️💗

This is a conversation worth having.

Alcohol consumption is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, and the risk increases as alcohol intake increases.

If you drink, consider talking with your healthcare provider about your individual risk and ways to reduce your alcohol intake.

And if you don't drink, there's no health reason to start.

Your overall health is built from many choices—and reducing alcohol is one change that may benefit more than just breast health.

💗 No judgment. Just good information.

Let's Talk Supplements 💊💗

Walk into almost any store and you'll find vitamins and supplements promising better health.

But when it comes to breast cancer prevention, here's what you should know:

No vitamin or dietary supplement has been proven to prevent breast cancer.

That doesn't mean supplements never have a place in your health routine. Some people may benefit from a supplement when they have a nutritional deficiency, specific dietary need, or another medical reason.

The important part?

👉 Choose supplements based on your individual health needs—not a promise on a bottle.

Before adding a new vitamin, mineral, herb, or other supplement, talk with your pharmacist or healthcare provider—especially if you take prescription medications or are being treated for cancer.

💗 At The Drug Store, we're happy to help you look at the whole picture.

Ask us about your medications, supplements, and potential interactions. Visit our online Fullscript dispensary to browse a full catalog of quality supplements.

5 Questions You Should Ask Your Pharmacist 💬💊

You don't need to wait until there's a problem to talk to your pharmacist!

Here are five questions worth asking:

1️⃣ What is this medication for?

2️⃣ How and when should I take it?

3️⃣ What side effects should I watch for?

4️⃣ Could this interact with my other medications, vitamins, or supplements?

5️⃣ What should I do if I miss a dose?

And there's no such thing as a “silly” medication question.

If you're wondering about it, ask.

That's what we're here for. ❤️

Build Your Plate Around Real Food 🥦🍓

When it comes to cancer prevention, there isn't a magic food—and there isn't a magic pill.

Instead, focus on the basics:

🥦 Fill your plate with vegetables and fruits
🌾 Choose whole grains and high-fiber foods
🫘 Include beans and other plant-based protein sources
🐟 Choose lean or minimally processed protein sources
💧 Make water your go-to beverage
🍽️ Pay attention to portions and overall eating patterns

A healthy eating pattern can help support a healthy weight and overall health.

And here's an important reminder: supplements aren't a substitute for a healthy diet.

This October, let's focus less on finding a miracle product and more on building healthy habits that can last.

💗 Small choices. Repeated often. Big impact on your overall health.

Your Pharmacist Is Your Medication Expert 💊

Ever wonder what happens between the time your prescription arrives and the time you pick it up?

A LOT.

Your pharmacist reviews your medication to make sure the prescription is appropriate, checks for potential interactions and duplication, considers allergies and other important information, and helps make sure you understand how to take it.

And that's just part of the job.

Pharmacists are specifically educated in medication therapy and play an important role in helping patients use medications safely and effectively.

So next time you see your pharmacist, remember:

You're not just picking up a prescription. You're accessing a medication expert.

Get Moving! 🚶‍♀️💗

You don't have to become a marathon runner to make a difference in your health.

Regular physical activity is one of the lifestyle habits associated with a lower risk of breast cancer.

The American Cancer Society recommends adults aim for:

🚶‍♀️ 150–300 minutes of moderate activity each week
OR
🏃‍♀️ 75–150 minutes of vigorous activity each week

And remember—it all adds up.

Take a walk after dinner. Garden. Dance in the kitchen. Take the stairs. Play with your grandchildren. Find something you enjoy enough to keep doing.

💗 Your goal this week: Move a little more than you did last week.

Need help getting started? Talk with your wellness pharmacist about an activity plan that's appropriate for you.
