Alex Rodriguez's girlfriend Jaclyn Cordeiro shares bold take on making annual breast screenings a vital self-care practice

Alex Rodriguez's girlfriend, Jaclyn Cordeiro, is very active on social media, sharing fitness and health advice through her account. Her latest post addressed a pressing need among females.

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancer observed in females. Early detection is one way to defeat it. It occurs when cells in the breast grow uncontrollably, often forming a lump or mass. Risk factors include age, genetics, lifestyle, and hormonal factors, though it can develop in individuals without known risks.

On Wednesday, Cordeiro did her annual breast screening with Cancer Care Ontario in Canada. She posted a selfie just after the screening, advising her female followers to do regular screenings for early detection of the disease.

"Ladies part of self care includes breast screening," she wrote.

The American Cancer Society recommends that women aged 40 to 44 have the option to begin yearly mammograms, while those aged 45 to 54 should undergo mammograms annually. For women aged 55 and older, mammograms can be done every two years.

Alex Rodriguez's girlfriend encourages followers to maintain 5 AM fitness challenge despite freezing temperatures

With December just starting, almost all northern American states and Canada are experiencing snowfall and temperatures below zero degrees. During such times, starting out at 5 AM can be quite a difficult task for individuals.

However, Jaclyn Cordeiro, who runs the 5 AM club, wants her followers to continue with this fitness schedule, motivating them to focus on the reasons behind "why" they are doing it.

"It’s cold out here, and that doesn’t exactly boost motivation for those 5 a.m. starts. But remember your why. Begin your day with gratitude—it’ll give you a little pep in your step, I promise. Always stay connected to your why. Have a great day!" she said in her video.
