Anti-Aging

Anti-aging aims to improve an individual's quality of life and average life expectancy. Lifestyle changes such as physical activity, smoking and alcohol cessation, blood pressure and cholesterol control, limited calorie intake, vegetable, and fruit-based nutrition, coping with stress and preventive medicine practices are the most effective anti-aging methods.

Cancer Screening

Particularly, colorectal (bowel), breast and cervical cancer screenings have been shown to reduce cancer-related deaths. The physician takes the decision of cancer screening on a patient basis, taking the age of the patient and his/her additional diseases into account.
