The 3 most common cancers and their symptoms

Colon cancer, the one with the highest incidence in both sexes (15%).

Specific symptoms: changes in the habitual intestinal habit (constipation, diarrhea or alternation of both); Blood in the stool or black stool; Abdominal pain or colic; Tiredness or weight loss.

Prevention: The risk of colorectal cancer is reduced by taking care of the diet (more fruits, vegetables and fiber and less red and processed meats), avoiding excess alcohol and performing a habitual physical activity that controls obesity.

Prostate cancer, the one with the highest incidence in men (21.7%).

Specific symptoms: decreased caliber or interruption of urine stream; Increased frequency of urination, especially at night; Difficulty urinating or stinging during urination

Prevention: Although age and genetic predisposition are key to the development of this disease, eating a diet low in animal fats contributes to the prevention or at least to delay the manifestation of prostate tumor.

Breast cancer, the one with the highest incidence in women (29%).

Specific symptoms: a lump in the breast or armpit; Changes in the shape of the chest; Involution of the nipple or secretion through it.

Prevention: in addition to healthy lifestyle habits (diet, exercise, non-smoking), avoid hormone replacement therapies as much as possible and perform routine breast self-exams starting at age 25.

Recommendations for early cancer screening *

Dr. Antonio Brugarolas, director of the Platform of Oncology Hospital Quirón Torrevieja, recommends:

• BREAST CANCER: biannual breast exam at the beginning, then annual, between 40 and 75 years; Usually with mammography and in cases of greater risk with mammary magnetic resonance.

• CÉRVIX CANCER: cervix in sexually active women between 21 and 65 years, including Pap smear and HPV study when cytology is altered; Is repeated every three years until the age of 30 and then every five years.

• COLORCECTAL CANCER: a fecal occult blood test or, better yet, a colonoscopy every five years after age 50.

• LUNG CANCER: Helical CT of high resolution in patients between 55 and 75 years if they have been severe smokers more than 30 years.

• PROSTATE CANCER: performance of PSA from the age of 50.

• MELANOMA SKIN CANCER: visual detection when there are alterations or changes in pigmentation.

In all cases, the age is anticipated 10 years if you have a family history of the tumor in question.

* The indication of these procedures must be evaluated individually by a specialist.

10 Best Ways To Have A Sound Sleep

How important is sleep?

I'm not so fond of sleeping myself, but I need it, just like everyone. Scientists claim that you need about 7 hours of sleep per night. There are people who can sleep much less and some people need more sleep. For example, America's former president Bill Clinton (and possibly the future First Man) knew that he needed about 4 hours of sleep a night.

But good sleep is important to you. A night of low sleep can greatly affect your concentration and productivity. I'm not going to sleep in this blog because you can sleep badly, I only give you tips this time to sleep better.

The 10 Tips for Better Sleep

You do not have to follow the tips below, but if you try a few, the quality of your sleep may increase. Many researches have been conducted on the topic of sleep, including the prestigious Harvard University, and in the Netherlands there are even dormitories in hospitals where people are treated. So sleep is a serious matter.

1.Sleep according to the cycle

You are sleeping in cycles of about 90 minutes. From a slight sleep, you go to deeper sleep and then you come to REM sleep. REM stands for Rapid Eye Movement. In the REM sleep you get the most impressions of the day before. When you wake up during the REM sleep, you do not feel tired and tired the next day. You need about 5 cycles for a well-equipped feeling. These 5 cycles equals 7.5 hours of sleep. Try to keep this in mind, if you turn your alarm clock on for the next day. Make sure you can sleep 5 whole cycles. So not 4.5 or 5.5 cycles.

2.Stimulate the hormone melatonin

Melatonin is a neurotransmitter that causes you to get tired. Your body begins to make melatonin when it gets dark, this is a natural issue. The melatonin's enemy is the light of laptop screens and screens of iPads and smartphones. Doing a game for sleeping is therefore not convenient. How do you stimulate this hormone? Make it a little dark in your house and make sure the noise level decreases. For example, reduce the volume of the music or the TV.

3.Do not exercise for your sleep

I love sports, so I recommend it to everyone. But if you go to sleep, decide to run a lot, make your body active. This affects your sleep. By sports, you make the neurotransmitters dopamine and endorphin. These fabrics give you a good feeling, but they also keep you from your sleep for the time being.

4.Become romantic

Candle light does miracles for the production of melatonin. You can imagine that the bright light of the TV or of lamps mimics some kind of daylight. This "daylight" makes you less melatonin less quickly, which makes you less easily come to sleep. So put a few candles and dim the lights in your house. It looks a lot more cozy and who knows, you stimulate romance.

5.Sex

After a free party, all kinds of hormones and neurotransmitters are made by your master. Serotonin is such a neurotransmitter. Serotonin regulates your natural day and night rhythm. But after a free party you are generally feeling relaxed and that is a good base for a good night's sleep.

6.Meditating, yoga or stretching

A great way to get your body calm is to meditate or to do some yoga or stretch exercises. These forms of motion can be an added benefit of relieving the worries and stress of the day. And that will be your sleep well too.

7.No sugar and coffee

Sugar activates the neurotransmitter dopamine (reward system), which makes you active. It is good to avoid sugar. Sugar has an addictive effect. Coffee also activates your brain, so it's not convenient to have an espresso to sleep before going to sleep.

8.Alcohol

Although a glass of red wine can bring you some benefits, it's not easy to be awry with it. Although you can get better sleepily, the quality of your sleep is much less good.

9.Go to bed if you are tired

Yes, you're okay, why go to bed? However, many people go to bed early enough, so they are not tired enough yet. The quality of your sleep is more important than its length.

10. Read A book

Books can give you relief and relaxation. It keeps your brain calm and helps in sleeping. Reading books is also a good practice to have a good sleep.
