Prevention

It's always better to prevent an illness rather than treat it after it develops. And while some factors (such as your age, gender, and family history for certain diseases) are outside our control, there are many important risk factors that are within our power to change. Steps like pursuing screening tests, vaccinations, and healthy lifestyle habits can help prevent or slow down an illness. Making small changes in your daily life can help you stay active and independent as you get older.
