monthly health challenge :: april

This month's heath challenge is to keep up on all of your annual and semi-annual exams(which is ironic, since this post is a week late:)It's so easy to forget about those yearly check-ups as the months fly by. I don't know about you, but they aren't exactly something I look forward to. Regardless, they are important. Keeping current on mammograms, gynecological tests, dental exams and dermatological exams is important for woman of every age. Keep in mind, that a colonoscopy is also recommended at age 50 and beyond. Whew, that's 5 to 6 appointments per year.... It's no wonder we get a little behind. If you've been avoiding your doctor visits, make it a point to get those appointments made today. Prevention and early detection are keys to staying healthy.
