Preventive Health Care Beats Chronic Illness & Disease
Many serious and life-threatening diseases are preventable through changes in lifestyle and early detection. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart disease and cancers among many other illnesses are more manageable the earlier they are detected and may even sometimes be prevented. That is why preventive care is probably the most important medical care you can receive. Whatever licensed medical professional you receive it from, it is important that you follow their prescribed preventive care program, which may include risk assessments, diagnostic testing and lifestyle modifications for best results.
