As with many diseases, one of the best ways to increase your chances of beating cancer is to pick it up as early as possible. This, however, is easier said than done.

When was the last time you had a proper check-up? When was the last time you went for a full blood test? Probably not recently enough, and that means you’re at risk. Luckily, your body’s got your back and if something’s wrong, it will try to tell you, as long as you’re listening. New research suggests that most people ignore these warning signs.

Knowing the warning signs of a sick body is incredibly important, after all, it could save your life. We recommend you learn them, and look out for them.
