Some key takeaways on taking control of your health as a millennial:

A lot of conditions we associate with age, like heart disease and cancer, can actually affect people at younger ages. You don’t need to be scared of these, but it’s important to know the symptoms so you can advocate for yourself if you’re experiencing them. It’s much better to be proactive!
Some factors that might be causing a rise in certain health conditions like colorectal cancer in millennials are living a sedentary lifestyle, decreased fiber intake, and an increase in consuming processed foods.
There is so much misinformation and anecdotal evidence on social media that it can drown out peer-reviewed, science-backed information on health. Do your best to make decisions based on information backed by credible sources. Check out the list of links above for a list of reputable resources!
