Lung cancer is the largest cancer killer of adult men and women worldwide. One of the reasons is that by the time symptoms develop, the cancer is too advanced for a cure. The goal of lung cancer screening is to detect cancer at an earlier stage and save more lives. Smoking is the No. 1 cause of lung cancer, and it’s recommended that anyone over 55 who has a significant history of smoking, even if they no longer smoke, should be screened.

But don’t fret, because we spoke with an expert who reveals 10 ways to speed…
Rather than immediately getting back into high-intensity workouts, filling up your social calendar, or pushing yourself to the limit at work, for example, Dr. Peifer recommends prioritizing restorative activities, if and when you can.

Some people even call them “the king” of all exercises. But what muscles do deadlifts work? Basically all the biggest muscle groups in the bottom half of your body, plus your core, shoulders, and forearms. Yeah, they’re no joke. Clearly, deadlifts can be one of the most efficient exercises to work into your leg day. But if you aren’t already doing them, we get it: Barbell deadlifts in particular can be…
We’ve all been there – it’s late at night, and the craving for a snack hits hard. Whether you’re catching up on your favourite TV show or studying late, it’s tempting to reach for those chips or a chocolate bar. But making unhealthy snack choices too often can lead to weight gain and make you resistant to insulin over time.
