Get a check up. Your Doctor is your partner in managing your health. During your physical exam, see to it that you are offered preventive health screenings and care. Preventive care is much easier than managing disease. If you do not make time for your health, you will make time for illness. Knowing your health status and risk factors will help you make the lifestyle changes that are needed.
Tools To Manage Your Health:
- Know your cholesterol level
- Monitor your blood pressure.
- Obesity and body mass index
- Quit smoking
- Are you at risk of developing diabetes?
- What exercise is best for YOU!
- Look closely at your family history.
- Are you at risk for heart disease, stroke, or diabetes?
Making a list of your health concerns to discuss with your Doctor is a great way to get the most out of your visit and participate in your visit as a informed health consumer.
