Japanese oncology expert Professor Saijo recently reminded everyone that once you cross the age of 40, you really need to make time for regular cancer screenings and clean up your daily habits if you want to keep health risks in check.

For most working folks just trying to make a living, meals are usually quick grabs at a roadside stall, and staying up late to pull overtime is practically a habit. When people hear warnings like this, they know deep down that health isn't something to take lightly, but it always feels like something that happens to someone else.

As local media pointed out, while the expert's advice sounds simple enough, actually sticking to it through the daily grind takes genuine discipline—better to take care of yourself now than panic when your body finally gives out.
