As we age, taking care of our health becomes more about staying ahead of issues rather than reacting to them. Preventative care is your secret weapon—helping you catch concerns early, maintain energy, and enjoy more of the things you love

Here are five smart preventative care tips every senior should keep on their radar:

1. Schedule Regular Screenings
Routine checkups and screenings can detect health issues before symptoms appear. Talk to your doctor about cholesterol tests, blood pressure checks, cancer screenings, and bone density exams.

2. Stay Up to Date on Vaccinations
Vaccines aren’t just for kids. The flu shot, shingles vaccine, COVID boosters, and pneumonia shots are important for keeping your immune system strong and protecting against serious illness.

3. Keep Those Eyes and Ears Sharp
Vision and hearing changes can sneak up on you. Annual eye and hearing exams help you stay safe, connected, and independent.

4. Mind Your Medications
Make a habit of reviewing your medications with your pharmacist or doctor. Keeping everything up to date and understanding what you’re taking can help prevent side effects or interactions.

5. Move Your Body, Gently
Exercise is preventative medicine. Walking, stretching, or light yoga helps with balance, joint health, and overall mood. It’s never too late to start.

Preventative care doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Think of it as tuning up your body so it runs smoothly for years to come. Staying proactive means more time for adventures, hobbies, and family fun.
