Want to live even just a little longer? From the book by John Corso, "Stupid Reasons People Die", talking to your doctor about a few simple tests can prevent fatal illness, and add years to your life. Here are 4 ways you can be proactive:
1. Get a colonoscopy- colon cancer is one of the easiest cancers to treat, but 60,000 people die from it each year because their cancer went undetected
2. Know your heart disease risk factors- ask your doctor to do a scan that measures plaque in the arteries
3. Esophageal cancer- doctors believe that it's related to stress and acid reflux, so if you've suffered from chronic heartburn, consider getting an endoscopy to make sure your throat's in good health.
4. Malignant melanoma- check yourself, and look for flat, dark brown, or black lesions with irregular shapes. Find one; see your doctor.
