Preventative Health Screenings For Successful Aging
Here are some more recommendations for health screenings as you age. Sticking to this check-up routine will ensure that your efforts at maintaining healthy aging are sustained as best as possible.
(1) Blood cholesterol screenings are performed to identify any signs of cardiovascular or heart disease. If you are over 40, you should have your blood-cholesterol levels checked every five years. If you are prone to having high levels of bad cholesterol (or LDL), increase the number of screenings as directed by your doctor.
(2) Pap smears are done to identify any signs of cervical cancer and other disorders associated with the female reproductive organs. If you are a woman over the age of 18 (or younger and sexually active), have one pap smear per year.
(3) Also a part of womens' check-up routine are yearly breast exams and mammograms. These are used to identify any growths within the mammary gland that could be an indicative of breast cancer. Mammograms and professional breast exams are required in women over 40 and 30 respectively, once per year. Breast self exams should be done every month to identify potential tissue growth, cysts, and lumps.
(4) PSA tests are done to identify signs of prostrate cancer in male adults ages forty and over. The examination should be done once every 12 months.
(5) Stool guaiac tests are performed to determine whether there is blood present in an individual's stool. This could be a sign of damage to the digestive tract and should be performed in both males and females over the age of 40, once per year.
(6) Tetanus vaccines are given to adults every 10 years to boost immunity against this disease.
BONUS : Preventing Bone Disease in Healthy Aging
Each day we live, we grow older failing to see that our bones and muscles demand activities to continue strength, endurance and resistance to lifes nasty living demands. Our bones need continued activities through out our lives starting as a child. Until we turn 30, the bones continue to build. After this age, the bones begin to disintegrate. You can cutback this degeneration process by taking care of your bones in youthful days.
How it is achieved:
Bone health is achieved through activities, such as exercise. In addition, you maintain healthy bones by increasing calcium. Supplements are available, which include the FDA marked remedies to help reduce bone loss from natural aging.
Taking calcium is very important during our entire life. Children should drink 2 cups of milk each day and adults 3 cups. Calcium in food is better to take than pills because you get more of it; food sometimes doesnt have the right amounts in it due to the way it has been processed. Get that calcium in your body at an early age and keep it there. Besides calcium however, your bones demand a mixture of magnesium. You will also need a healthy dose of phosphorous. Vitamin D facilitates calcium to flow through the bloodstream. Free flowing bloods make a healthier you.
To improve bones, we also need to start at an early age getting plenty of vitamin D. As we get older, we have a tendency to stay out of the sun more. Dont sit in the house all day. Rather try to get outside around noon and get some sun with all those vitamin D rays. Supplements can be used but again the sun is better. Maybe take a walk for 15-20 minutes each day to get the sun.
As we aging into the later years of our life, we have to keep those bones strong. You can benefit from weight bearing works, such as walking. Keeping those bones strong will help you survive falls. Falls is one of the leading reasons of bone breakage or fractures, especially as we grow older.
Unfortunately, adolescents dont realize the importance of taking care of our bones. As these adolescents pass puberty however, their bones start to decline. Once a person reaches 50, the bones start to deteriorate, which puts you at high risk of fractures, disease and breakage. As the bones weaken, the muscles and joints will also degenerate. Injures then can lead to gouty arthritis, arthritis, osteoporosis and so on.
The high-risks of bone fractures are charted, which include hip fractures being the most common injure amongst the elderly. Hip fractures may sound like a minor ordeal, yet the truth is hip fractures are responsible for some deaths.
Weak bones are avertable even once you are middle age. Its never to late to repair or mend our bodies.
Staying fit is the key to preventing risks of disease, hip fractures etc since the bones will stay healthy. In view of the fact, you want to consider a daily schedule, which includes activities and exercise. You want to keep those muscles free to move, since the muscles protect the bones. Stretch workouts and exercise will prevent your joints from feeling stiff as well, which joints support the muscles and bones.
When you exercise you, maintain weight. As you start to age, the body fat increases to more than 30%. This is too much added weight for the muscles, joints and bones. Carrying around this kind of weight on the feet, legs, etc will cause problems later. Maintaining your weight will help prevent and lower your risks of heart disease, bone disease, high-blood, high-cholesterol, diabetes and so on.
