As we approach and arrive at our senior years, we begin to understand why doctors always told us to take better care of our health. Prevention is something we hear about all of our lives, and only a small percentage of us really take it seriously. The good news is that many age-related health issues can be improved and avoided with preventive care services covered by Medicare.
Better health can always be found through exercise and an improved diet, of course. There are other issues, though, that are not so easy to control. It’s much more dangerous for seniors to get the flu, life events can cause depression, and smoking or earlier substance abuse can lead to a whole list of related health problems. Preventive screenings, counseling, vaccinations, and lab tests help to diagnose or treat potential health risks before they become serious problems.
Using available preventive services improves your health, which leads to other benefits. Your golden years should be spent enjoying life, so better health means fewer visits to care providers. You have better things to do. Just a wellness exam and flu shot will keep the doctor away for a while. Good health means a more active lifestyle and less reliance on others to get around, as well. So, preventive care really does give you more joy and freedom in life.
