Start Walking: Tips for Beginners
Some risk factors for breast cancer are beyond your control, but others are within your control. For example, you’re at increased risk if you lead a sedentary lifestyle and get less than 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week. And you certainly don’t have to run a marathon; a brisk daily walk not only lowers your risk of breast cancer, but exercise also speeds up your recovery and reduces the risk of recurrence. Walking is also an accessible activity that you can do almost anywhere. Still, there are a few important points to keep in mind for beginner walkers. The Wandelsport Vlaanderen vzw walking federation has listed some helpful tips for you.

The rarest type of breast cancer often goes unnoticed
A hard lump in the breast almost immediately causes anxiety. Fortunately, it usually turns out to be a benign abnormality. But sometimes there is something rare and unexpected behind it: the phyllodes tumor. This unusual form of breast cancer deserves to be better known.
Pink Ribbon is the Belgian organization dedicated to the fight against breast cancer every day.
The non-profit organization Pink Ribbon is the national organization working every day to improve the medical treatment of breast cancer and increase the quality of life of (former) breast cancer patients. Our mission is ready and clear to eliminate the disease and reduce its impact.
To this end, we are setting up several projects in Belgium under 5 pillars:
- Breast cancer awareness
- Prevention
- Early detection of breast cancer
- Psychosocial support for (former) patients and their surroundings
- Research
To finance these projects, we raise funds managed in the bosom of the Pink Ribbon non-profit organization and at the Pink Ribbon Fund, the latter under the auspices of the King Baudouin Foundation.
