Newton-John promotes breast health
Remember when Olivia Newton-John wanted us all to get physical?
As in “I wanna get physical, physical. I want to get physical. Let’s get into physical?”
She wants that again, but thank goodness this time there will be no hideous head band.
Newton-John launched a breast self-examination kit designed to encourage women to perform monthly checks along with routine checkups and mammograms. Her Liv Aid kit features a demonstration pillow to intensify a woman’s sense of touch and help her recognize what’s normal for her body.
Newton-John, 60, detected a lump in 1992 during a breast self-exam. After undergoing a partial mastectomy and breast reconstruction, she says the message of early detection cannot be voiced often and loud enough.
“You can tell people a million times, but it has to be a mental decision,” she said.
This year, she plans to break ground on the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre, a comprehensive treatment, care and research facility for all types of cancer. Located in Australia, the center will incorporate traditional and nontraditional therapies for healing of the body, mind and spirit.
The kits are available at http://liv.com, but also at sites like Amazon.com
