To Live Longer Get Regular Exams

 Get Health Screenings and Tests

Maintaining your health is vital to ensuring your optimal life expectancy. This means seeing your healthcare provider at least once yearly for a comprehensive physical exam and evaluation.

If you have one or more chronic medical conditions, you may need to see our provider more often or see other specialists to ensure your medications are working and the treatment goals are being met.

In addition, you need to get your recommended vaccines, including annual ones like the flu and COVID shots and scheduled ones like the shingles and meningococcal vaccines.

Routine screenings are needed based on your age and sex. This may include mammograms, colonoscopies, Pap smears, and STI screenings.

By preventing diseases or treating them during the early stages, you will be better assured of uninterrupted good health over the long term.

Check-ups should always include blood tests, EKG, and possibly a chest x-ray depending on your condition. Your doctor knows best what you need. As our bodies age, changes will occur quicker than normal, so see your doctor as often as necessary. Sometimes a simple cough can develop into a serious lung condition if not treated. 

If you're serious about living longer, listen to your doctor and make changes in your diet.
