The importance of regular health exams
Hello everyone!
It's always good to take care for health and having checks could become more important in elder age.
You can schedule an appointment with your health care provider to discuss what screenings and exams you need and when you need them.
Why are Check-Ups Important?
Regular health exams and tests can help find problems before they start. They also can help find problems early, when your chances for treatment and cure are better. By getting the right health services, screenings, and treatments, you are taking steps that help your chances for living a longer, healthier life. Your age, health and family history, lifestyle choices (i.e. what you eat, how active you are, whether you smoke), and other important factors impact what and how often you need healthcare.
Are you having regular check-ups?
Do you have a good health care system to have them done?
Would you plan to have check-ups in case you didn't do any?

@BeyondTheInvisible this is a great idea. I go to the doctor regularly and they are impressed how good a shape I am in. Must be all those exercise classes and good foods!
@soulsings
I am glad to hear that you are in good shape and feel well!
Regular checks are confirming that, so thumbs up for the self care you have ! 
@soulsings

@amiablePeace77 Thanks for that tip.

You are welcome and happy Thursday over there! 
@BeyondTheInvisible
Thanks for bringing the importance of health checks to the attention of everyone.
Are you having regular check-ups?
Do you have a good health care system to have them done? I do regular health check ups with my gp to cover the basics, apart from that i listen to my body, do self-checks and would ask gp if something feels weird.
Would you plan to have check-ups in case you didn't do any? If I would not have I would get one for sure if possible.

Hi there, that's fine!
Wish you an amazing Friday!
@BeyondTheInvisible
Hi, have an amazing Friday too!
I am really bad about getting regular medical care. Thanks for the reminder of how important it is!
@carefreeHeart57
You are welcome, enjoy the weekend!
I do go regularly to my Dr. Still trying to get my blood pressure under control. Nice post!👍🏻
@Lauren63
uggh.. me too, my blood pressure looks like a train wreck. Hope we both get it down to a safe level.
@DaveMcGrath. believe me if I could I would do anything for that. Hope yours get straightened out!
@Lauren63
Hi Lauren,
I hope you and Dave will get the blood pressure down. When i was in hospital some time ago my blood pressure was very high, i meditated for some time and when nurse came back it was almost okay. I know it might not work for everyone but to some people it can.
@amiablePeace77
glad to hear it went down and i hope you check it from time to time to see if it stays within good parameters
@DaveMcGrath someone told me they did those Qi Gong exercises regularly and it helped them relax and over time helped them manage their blood pressure.
@soulsings
sounds like a decent idea
@DaveMcGrath
Hey Dave, do you still practice the cooking like you explained in a post somewhere time ago?
Well, maybe you could ask to the doctor what food would help keep it low and if you cook then you can enjoy some healthy but tasty meals you can prepare by your own to help it!
Cheers!
@Lauren63
Hello, glad to hear you care for checks!
Happy Friday!
Really happy to see this thread. So so important to bring attention to this topic. I know some of us dont love going to the doctor, but its so important.
@Laura
I agree on that, it's very important!
