When is the last time you had a check-up with your doctor? Even if you feel great, it’s still a good idea to get your annual physical. High blood pressure and high cholesterol can be hereditary. Cancer can strike even the most conscientious health buff.
Talk with your doctor about your family history and make it a habit to get the recommended blood work, bone, and cancer screenings. Catching problems early greatly increases your chances of living a longer healthier life. You may just save yourself!

Healthy Kids
Kids learn their health habits early in their home and school environments. Be sure your children are learning to live an active lifestyle by following these tips:
- Camouflage exercise into fun activities. Go for walks, hikes, and swims. Participate in sports together. Make exercise a daily part of your family life.
- Have healthy snacks and meals in your home. Kids cannot eat junk food if it is not available to them.
- Get kids involved in preparing meals. It’s never too early to learn to cook.
- Be an example of health. As a caregiver for your child, you are their number one role model, so teach them health by living it.
