Annual health exams

A part of a healthy lifestyle is making sure to schedule an annual health exam with your family doctor. It is also just as important to also see your dentist for dental cleanings twice a year as well. Try to schedule your annual health exam on a date you can remember every year. Like you favorite holiday or your birth date.
Keep a journal. Try to make a minimum of weekly entries if you can't commit to daily. Before your medical exams review your history of notes. Be prepared and asked questions and voice any concerns.
Do some of your own research on your search engines (like google or bing). There are websites out there to answer questions until you can get to your family doctor. You may want to try websites like www.webmd.com or www.ahrq.gov or search one of your preference.You know your body best. Help your doctor understand you better.
