🚩 Have a Risk Tolerance Plan – It’ll Save You in Tough Times!

Crypto is exciting — but let’s be real: it’s volatile. 📉📈 That’s why having a risk tolerance plan isn’t optional — it’s essential.

Knowing how much risk you can handle protects you when the markets dip and emotions run high.

Here’s what a smart risk plan includes: ✅ Set clear limits on how much you're willing to lose ✅ Diversify — don’t put all your assets in one protocol or token ✅ Have an exit strategy before you enter a trade ✅ Only invest what you can afford to lose

In crypto, emotions can cost you. Planning saves you. 💡

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month – Understand the Risk Factors!

At Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital, we believe knowledge is power. Here are the risk factors that could increase the likelihood of developing breast cancer:

Gender: Women are at a higher risk, though men can also develop breast cancer.

Age: Most cases occur in women over 50.

Family History: A close relative with breast cancer increases your chances.

Genetics: BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations significantly raise the risk.

Hormonal Factors: Early menstruation (before 12), late menopause (after 55), and hormone replacement therapy can increase risk.

Reproductive History: Having your first child after age 30, not breastfeeding, or never having children can raise the likelihood.

Lifestyle Choices: Lack of physical activity, poor diet, obesity, alcohol consumption, and smoking are major contributors.

Radiation Exposure: Those who have undergone radiation therapy to the chest, especially in childhood, are at higher risk.

Early detection saves lives – regular mammograms, self-examinations, and awareness of these risk factors are essential steps towards prevention. Together, let’s work towards a healthier future.
