Unfortunately, being young does not make you untouchable from cancer. Knowing your family history and speaking with your health care provider about any symptoms you may be experiencing (change in bowel habits, blood in stool, unexplained weight loss) could connecting you with a screening that prevents cancer from growing.

If you are feeling nervous about talking with your healthcare provider, try writing your symptoms down or what you want to discuss before your appointment, so you don’t forget!

During National Nutrition Month, consider one small change you can sustain, such as adding more vegetables, drinking more water, or cooking one extra meal at home each week. Consistency matters more than perfection.
