Mammogram 101

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain the importance of getting an annual mammogram. If you have a family history of breast cancer please get a mammogram every year. About 75% of breast cancer deaths are from women who didn’t get an annual exam. Mammograms typically catch breast cancer in its most curable stage. We know a lot of women don’t get these done because they are afraid of what they might find or false positives or because they don’t have health insurance. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how convertibles can damage your hearing even causing hearing loss. The loud roar of the wind and the road as you’re cruising down the highway with the top down can be damaging your hearing to the point of being deaf according to a recent study. You can prevent damage by rolling the windows up in your car or wearing ear plugs. Which are probably good ideas, especially if you have some kids driving in the convertible with you.
