Stay Healthy

You have control over your health. Healthy living raises the chances you’ll be there for your family and friends for many years to come. Use your health plan when you are sick and when you are well, to help you live a long, healthy life. While using your health plan is important, there’s no substitute for living a healthy life.

Here’s what you can do to put your health and well-being first:

  • Make time for staying active, healthy eating, and rest.
  • Don’t smoke.
  • Get the routine care that is right for you.
  • Take an active role in your health.
  • Learn more about what you can do to stay healthy and share what you learn with your family and friends.

 

Pointing out Signs & Warnings

Get better at finding signs that can warn you of disease, for example paying attention to how your body reacts to drugs and other health changes. Finding signs of disease early can help you make life adjustments before the disease worsens, which can lead to a healthier life. It is also important to find care that can help you know you have the disease and manage your disease before it gets worse. This can help you save money because routine care is covered by your health plan.

Your doctor can make routine health screenings to look for early signs of certain health issues. Early action and care can make a big impact in the results of health tests.

You Can Prevent Chronic Diseases

Many chronic diseases are caused by key risk behaviors. By making healthy choices, you can reduce your likelihood of getting a chronic disease and improve your quality of life. See more here: https://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease/about/prevent/index.htm
