Now that spring is just around the
corner, we are all looking forward to milder weather. If you have felt like you have been cooped up
this winter, now is time to start thinking about getting out and taking care of
your annual health needs.
Remember just as we schedule tune-ups
for our automobiles, it is also important to maintain our bodies to keep them
running as smoothly as possible. For
example, if it has been more than a year since your last
eye exam, you should schedule one now.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends adults
65 years and older have a complete eye exam every year or two
to check for age-related eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration,
diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, cataract and other eye conditions.
If you feel like you are having
difficulty following conversations, especially in a crowd of people, you should
have your hearing tested. In addition,
don’t forget about your teeth as that can lead to bigger problems, and remember
even older adults can still get cavities.
It is recommended you have your teeth cleaned and examined by a dentist
each six to nine months. Regular health maintenance
should also include having your blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol levels,
and weight checked out by your primary care physician.
