The importance of preventative care

The best way to take care of yourself is to learn about your highest risk factors for serious complications and start taking action to prevent them. Heart disease and cancers are the leading causes of death in the United States, but the survival rates increase significantly when you are aware of your risk and take action toward a healthier lifestyle.

While you may not be able to take precautions against every of cancer, your family history, lifestyle and medical history will help your doctor identify what kind of cancers and other medical conditions you could be at an increased risk for. By doing what you can to live healthfully and catch these conditions in the early stages, you can rest easier knowing you are protecting your health and well-being.
