18. Cancer Screenings

Yes, you should get screened, but not too often. Although screenings for cancer, such as mammograms, are a good idea, you are also exposing yourself to radiation at the same time.

The latest recommendations are cervical exams every 3 years and for women over 50, mammograms every 2 years.

Be careful when your doctor recommends any kind of screening that would involve x-rays.

Ask if there isn’t an alternative method.
