Here’s how to make sure yours is too. [Healthline]( [Wellness Wire]( Presented by [FOCL]( IN a nutshell It’s Wednesday, which means you’re either having an “It’s already Wednesday?!” or an “It’s only Wednesday?!” kind of day. We sincerely hope it’s the former. Regardless, we hope it brightens your day to learn that actor buds Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have joined the [fight against colon cancer]( in a story that eloquently weaves together soccer, the Welsh language, and colonoscopies. We explain how below. Other topics to look forward to in today’s issue include: • how to really choose a dog when you have allergies (hint: [it’s not about the breed]() • [the lives being changed by Black Ariel]( • whether you should let [your dog in your bed]( (plus your chance to weigh in!) Stay sharp, Ginger Wojcik Newsletter Editor, Healthline Written by Ginger Wojcik September 28, 2022 • 5 min read [A friendly reminder from Ryan Reynolds to get your routine colonoscopy]( what’s got us buzzing [A friendly reminder from Ryan Reynolds to get your routine colonoscopy]( Actors and good pals Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney recently made a bet that may have saved their butts (literally). After becoming co-owners of the Welsh soccer team Wrexham AFC, Reynolds bet McElhenney he couldn’t learn to speak Welsh. If he lost, McElhenney got to film Reynolds’ upcoming colonoscopy. (Reynolds and McElhenney both turned 45 this year, the age recommended by the [American Cancer Society (ACS)]( to start screening for colon cancer.) Impressively, McElhenney did learn Welsh. (Or at least the few lines of Welsh he speaks in their cheeky [YouTube video]( about the ordeal.) So Reynolds honored his side of the bet and invited cameras into the procedure. Lo and behold, the colonoscopy did find a benign polyp in Reynolds’ colon, which wouldn’t have been found otherwise since it didn’t produce any symptoms. “It was potentially lifesaving,” said the doctor who did the procedure. “This is exactly why you do this.” Colon cancer, aka colorectal cancer, is the [third]( most common cancer diagnosed in the United States, according to the ACS. It’s also the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in U.S. men and women. But undergoing [routine screening]( can significantly [reduce your risk](. “A colonoscopy test is the gold standard test for the prevention of colon cancer,” said one healthcare professional who appears in their video. “We think that colon cancer is a 100% preventable disease if healthy people get their periodic test.” tl;dr: Ryan Reynolds recently lost a bet that ended in having his routine colonoscopy — the “gold standard test for the prevention of colon cancer” — being filmed by actor and friend Rob McElhenney. The procedure found a precancerous polyp. So, Reynolds and McElhenney are now spreading the word about the importance of screening for colon cancer, which is the third most common cancer diagnosed in the United States. great finds Products we love [RUFFWEAR Roamer Bungee Dog Leash]( [RUFFWEAR Roamer Bungee Dog Leash]( Picking up after your dog is a delicate task on its own.

These viral, [heart-melting videos]( are being held up as examples of how representation can help children and young people feel like they belong. [The myth of hypoallergenic dogs]( Wednesday Kick Start [The myth of hypoallergenic dogs]( Along with “[clean eating](” and “[foot detoxes](,” there’s a new item to add to the health propaganda list: [hypoallergenic dog breeds](. Yep, turns out there’s just [no evidence]( that some dog breeds carry fewer allergens than others. First off, a [dog allergy]( isn’t actually a reaction to dog fur. It’s a reaction to a handful of proteins found in their skin and saliva. Through grooming and skin shedding, these proteins end up on the dog’s coat, and then all over every square inch of your life. So are there breeds that make fewer of these allergy-inducing proteins? The answer appears to be “no,” according to this [2021 study](. And a [2011 study]( found no difference in allergen levels in the homes of hypoallergenic dogs versus the homes of regular dogs. All that said, it’s totally possible to be more or less allergic to certain dogs. On an individual basis, dogs produce different amounts of these allergens. And small dogs produce a lot fewer because, well, they’re so smol. So in summary, shelling out thousands on a pure-bred dog isn’t going to help your allergies. But scaling down to a chihuahua-sized companion just might. health stories you need What we’re reading next [] [Can This Trending Pan Really Replace 8 Kitchen Tools?]( Ads for the Always Pan have been all over social media lately, but does it live up to the hype?
