3. Keep Up With Preventive Screenings

Routine screenings can detect health issues early when they’re most treatable. Schedule regular checkups with your doctor. Mammograms, Pap smears, and cholesterol tests are vital for early detection. Also, monitor blood pressure and glucose levels. Bone density tests may be needed as you age. Preventive care helps manage risks before symptoms appear. Make reminders for annual appointments. Prevention is always better—and often cheaper—than treatment.
