Successful preventive medicine requires your active participation. You may need to take some new steps, like watching what you eat and improving your diet.
Preventive care is based upon the simple truth that it’s easier to prevent a problem than it is to treat it. By taking steps to avoid illnesses, injuries, and chronic diseases today, you can reduce your medical spending, spend less time getting medical care, and enjoy a better quality of life long term.
Absolutely! Prevention is helpful for everyone, regardless of their current health status. Many chronic conditions are interrelated, such as high blood pressure, extra weight, Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease. Starting preventive care when you have just one or two conditions can help you avoid developing all of them.
In fact, if you start preventive care early enough, you might be able to manage your condition (at least in part) without medication. For example, many people with high blood pressure can reach healthy blood pressure levels through diet and exercise alone.
