Most people with thyroid cancer have no known risk factors, so it is not possible to prevent most cases of the disease.

It is important to schedule your yearly wellness exam, as having a wellness or yearly health care visit is a great opportunity to take charge of your health.

Big swings in your blood sugar can make you feel lousy. But even if you aren’t aware of them, they can still increase your risk for a number of serious health problems.
