Hi out there,
Have some general health question about taking care of ones self.
I realize things change as one ages but, what are general guidelines for preventative health care?
I keep hearing / reading of people that are fine and then they are going to the dr because something does not feel right only to learn they have stage IV this or advanced that.
So, if we are a healthy weight, eat decent, get some exercise, take some supplemets, watch fat and sodium intakes, etc.
What should men/women do further to maintain good health? Am sure different things apply to those of different ages.
as an example, I have learned for those when they reach 50 to get their first colonoscopy. what about check ups and such?
what should people be doing in their 20s? , 30s? 40s? 50s? 60s? etc?
With so many people relatively healthy in their 70s and 80s now and hearing of people passing 100, I wonder just how long of an expected life we may have if we take care of ourselves?
Am sure everyone has their opinion but, would prefer those answer in the medical profession or those with direct experience.
Perhaps there are certain sites to refer to for these answers?
thank you
