When you\u2019re sick, you have to deal with visits to the doctor\u2019s office or the hospital, bottles of medications and days in bed recovering. Wouldn\u2019t it be easier to just stay healthy in the first place? If you\u2019re not a fan of medication schedules and wasting days weakly lying in bed, you should consider the powerful role that prevention care can play in keeping you healthy.<\/p>\n

The most important part of preventing disease and illness is healthy habits, including a balanced diet, sufficient sleep and enough exercise. Going to the doctor for recommended checkups and screenings is also a key factor in identifying and treating potential health problems before they develop or worsen. Recommendations vary depending on your age and gender, and sources such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offer guidelines for various preventive screenings and tests.<\/p>\n

Due to recent health care reform, you may be able to receive many preventive services at no cost. Non-grandfathered health plans are required to cover a variety of preventive services. Check out what is covered by your insurance and take advantage of preventive care that can keep you and your family healthy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
