Not every health threat is easy to spot. Screening tests can prevent some cancers or catch them early, often before symptoms appear and when treatment is more likely to work best.
Talk with your doctor about which screenings are right for you and when to get them.
Another threat that's easy to miss: too much UV exposure from the sun, which can lead to skin cancer.
Simple options like shade, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, protective clothing, and broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF 15 or higher can help lower your risk.

Healthy eating isn't about perfection. It's about making nutritious choices more often.
Choosing more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, proteins, dairy, and healthy fats while limiting added sugars, highly processed foods, and foods high in saturated fats and sodium can help lower your risk for chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
No need to swim against the current—small changes add up. This #SharkWeek#, start with one healthy choice at a time. 🌊
Start with your next meal: Fill much of your plate with fruits and vegetables and prioritize fiber-rich whole grains.
