Health screenings help to detect chronic diseases early in their course, when the disease is most treatable. Screenings can help save lives.
There are a number of other ways you can confront the aging process and give yourself the best odds for success.
Attitude
Your sense of hope, humor and confidence will determine the tone of your aging experience. Your attitude is one thing you have full control over.
Civic Involvement
Sharing your interests and passions with others and being involved in a cause that is important to you will provide a constant reminder that you have a lot to offer and serves as a tool for putting problems in perspective or maybe even forgetting about them altogether.
Friends and Social Involvement
Contact with others will feed your spirit and can provide purpose and meaning in your life whether it be at work, church, or family get togethers. Interaction with grandchildren and being a volunteer are also very important to keeping ourselves involved verses isolated.
