Is Your Body in Check?
T
I
n observance of National Public Health Week (07-13 April), we will be going over steps that you can take to lead a healthier life. Have you ever sat down and asked yourself when the last time you went to the doctors for a physical was? Still thinking, well if you cannot remember then it is a good chance that you are due for a checkup. Many will argue that an annual physical is a waste of time and or money, but in hindsight it
is a good way to maintain a relationship with your physician. I am physically active, therefore I am healthy is the conclusion that many of us will come to as an attempt to escape the doctor's office. However, often times we will look physically healthy on the outside, but do not know what our body is experiencing internally.

O
ne thing that is important to consider is family history. Knowing your family history can help you better understand your health and focus on prevention. During a physical is the best time when you should discuss with your doctor your family history. Providing your physician with family history of illnesses will help them grasp an overall picture of your health. This will allow the physician to understand what necessary steps and tests to conduct in order to focus on safe guarding your health.
he thought of being diagnosed with a chronic illness often scares us and will prevent us from taking the necessary measures to safe guard our health. I am sure many of us know of a family member that has been diagnosed with diabetes, cancer or some other chronic illness. The thought of knowing this information scares humans and will leave them to think that something like that could never happen to them. However, when in reality, anything could happen if the preventative steps are not taken.
O
ne thing I would suggest, and what many other doctors would suggest is to get blood work done. Worried about the cost? Don't be, many health insurance companies will pay for blood work to be conducted at least once a year. (However, always check with your health plan to confirm.) Having blood work conducted enables us to know where we currently stand and what improvements can be made. Many improvements can be made to a person's health through regular physical activity and adjusting their diet. However, key thing to remember is early detection and education will determine the path you lead later in life.
I
will close this article with a thought to ponder: It's your HEALTH, what are you going to do about it?
