Up to 50% of all cancers and 70% of cardiovascular diseases could be prevented through targeted prevention – but why are we barely utilizing this enormous potential? In this episode of the ERCM Medicine Podcast, we welcome Dr. Udo E. Beckenbauer, an internist, sports medicine specialist, and expert on healthy living. We discuss important medical topics such as prevention, the role of check-ups, and strategies for a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Beckenbauer explains how preventive measures could prevent up to 50% of cancers and 70% of cardiovascular diseases. He highlights the importance of regular medical check-ups and how modern diagnostic procedures, such as CardioCT, can contribute to disease prevention. Finally, he shares practical advice for a healthy diet and an active lifestyle that improves overall well-being and protects against illness.
