Schedule Your Preventative Screenings: Don’t wait for symptoms. Talk to your primary care doctor about necessary annual check-ups, cancer screenings (mammograms, colonoscopies), and lab tests based on your age and family history. Early detection saves lives.
Prioritize Sleep Hygiene: Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep nightly. Establish a consistent routine, keep your bedroom dark and cool, and turn off screens (phones/tablets) at least 30 minutes before bedtime. Good sleep is crucial for immune function and mental health.
Know Your Numbers: Understand your personal risk factors. Get regular checks for your Blood Pressure, Cholesterol (Lipid Panel), and Blood Sugar (A1C). These are key indicators for heart disease and diabetes risk.
Stay Hydrated, Beyond the Thirst: Drink water consistently throughout the day, not just during meals or workouts. Proper hydration aids digestion, joint lubrication, and mood regulation.
