Health Tips and Disease Prevention Guidelines for
Women Early detection of health problems can be life
extending. If your physician finds that you have high LDL
cholesterol and are overweight; you can work on lowering
your cholesterol and losing weight before you run the risk
of having a heart attack. By having regular prevention
screening for cancer your doctor may find the cancer,
before it has spread; making it easier to treat and
extending your survival rate. Make time for prevention
counseling and screening with your doctor for overall
health and well-being.
Disease prevention is about taking control of your
health. Disease prevention is a tool both you and your
doctor can use. It is in your power to eliminate unhealthy
lifestyle choices like smoking, excessive alcohol drinking
and over-consumption of foods that are high in saturated fat and
cholesterol. Replace your bad habits with smart health
choices; which include; a nutritious diet, fitness and
regular medical checkups. Regularly inspect your body for
changes that could be warning signs; like a lump on your
breast or a mole whose appearance has changed.
Recently released statistics show
that Cancer patients are living longer and even "beating" the disease.
Information released at an AMA sponsored conference for science
writers, showed that the death rate from the dreaded disease has
decreased by 3 percent in the last few years. In the� 1940's only one
patient in four survived on the average. By the 1960's, that figure
was up to one in three, and now has reached 50% survival.
Not only are those stricken
surviving, but they are experiencing a better quality of life while
under treatment. Surgery is less radical, and chemotherapy is
producing fewer side effects (some of which can be treated by new
medications).
Hopefully we will continue to make even greater strides!
