owe it to yourself to take care of your health. One good place to start is by scheduling your yearly preventive health care exam.</h3>
<p>Preventive care is very important for people of all ages. Scheduling an annual preventive care visit will give you a chance to see if you’re on the right track with your health. It can also provide a bit of direction and
motivation for taking better care of yourself. And it’s a good time to establish, or build on, your relationship with your doctor. That can make it easier for you to get care if you have a health problem later.</p>
<h5>Exam Basics</h5>
<p>An annual visit includes a complete physical exam. It’s also time to talk with your doctor about your health history and any changes in health you are noticing. You can find out what screenings are right for you. You can also
work with your doctor to set specific health goals.</p>
<p>These visits may include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Services, like shots, that improve your health by preventing diseases and other health problems</li>
<li>Screenings to check for things like heart disease, diabetes and cancer</li>
<li>Tests for blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels</li>
<li>Education and counseling about your lifestyle, like handling stress, your diet, and level of activity </li>
</ul>
<p><span>Based on your age and health history, you may be encouraged to get certain cancer screenings. These screenings can help catch cancer before you have any symptoms. Make sure to discuss the need for specific screening
tests, such as mammograms or colonoscopies, with your primary care provider.</span></p>
<p>Remember, many serious health issues like cancer and heart disease don’t show symptoms in the early stages. Preventive care can help catch those problems early, when it’s easier to treat them.</p>
<p>The preventive care exam is one basic step for better health. You can also boost your health and wellbeing by making some key choices:</p>
<ul>
<li>Eat a healthy diet.</li>
<li>Get regular exercise.</li>
<li>Don’t use tobacco.</li>
<li>Limit alcohol use.</li>
<li>Aim for a healthy weight.</li>
</ul>
<h5>Better Health for Kids of All Ages</h5>
<p>Kids need an annual wellness exam just like adults do. It is sometimes called a well-child visit.
<a title="Regular exams" href="https://www.healthychildren.org/English/family-life/health-management/Pages/Well-Child-Care-A-Check-Up-for-Success.aspx">Regular exams</a> <img alt=" "
src="/resized-image/__size/10x10/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-00-02/pastedimage1649716973506v1.png" style="cursor: zoom-in;"> help the doctor track your child’s growth and development. They
can also catch problems early.</p>
<p>During a well-child visit, your child’s doctor may check:</p>
<ul>
<li>Height and weight</li>
<li>Blood pressure</li>
<li>Heart and lungs</li>
<li>Ears and vision</li>
</ul>
<p>Even older kids need checkups. Some diseases and conditions first show up after puberty. Scoliosis, diabetes, obesity and depression are just some of the health issues teens can have. So be sure to take them for their annual
exams, too.</p>
<p>Planning an annual exam is a good step toward better health at any age.</p>

YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH. ONE GOOD PLACE TO START IS
BY SCHEDULING YOUR YEARLY PREVENTIVE HEALTH CARE EXAM.
Preventive care is very important for people of all ages. Scheduling an annual
preventive care visit will give you a chance to see if you’re on the right track
with your health. It can also provide a bit of direction and motivation for
taking better care of yourself. And it’s a good time to establish, or build on,
your relationship with your doctor. That can make it easier for you to get care
if you have a health problem later.
EXAM BASICS
An annual visit includes a complete physical exam. It’s also time to talk with
your doctor about your health history and any changes in health you are
noticing. You can find out what screenings are right for you. You can also work
with your doctor to set specific health goals.
These visits may include:
* Services, like shots, that improve your health by preventing diseases and
other health problems
* Screenings to check for things like heart disease, diabetes and cancer
* Tests for blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels
* Education and counseling about your lifestyle, like handling stress, your
diet, and level of activity
Based on your age and health history, you may be encouraged to get certain
cancer screenings. These screenings can help catch cancer before you have any
symptoms. Make sure to discuss the need for specific screening tests, such as
mammograms or colonoscopies, with your primary care provider.
Remember, many serious health issues like cancer and heart disease don’t show
symptoms in the early stages. Preventive care can help catch those problems
early, when it’s easier to treat them.
The preventive care exam is one basic step for better health. You can also boost
your health and wellbeing by making some key choices:
* Eat a healthy diet.
* Get regular exercise.
* Don’t use tobacco.
* Limit alcohol use.
* Aim for a healthy weight.
BETTER HEALTH FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES
Kids need an annual wellness exam just like adults do. It is sometimes called a
well-child visit. Regular exams help the doctor track your child’s growth and
development. They can also catch problems early.
During a well-child visit, your child’s doctor may check:
* Height and weight
* Blood pressure
* Heart and lungs
* Ears and vision
Even older kids need checkups. Some diseases and conditions first show up after
puberty. Scoliosis, diabetes, obesity and depression are just some of the health
issues teens can have. So be sure to take them for their annual exams, too.
Planning an annual exam is a good step toward better health at any age.
