Make 2022 a year of better health. Use this quick checklist to guide your health and wellness efforts:
- Get a flu shot and a COVID-19 vaccine if you haven’t already. Seasonal flu has taken a backseat to the coronavirus, but cases of flu are already popping up. If you haven’t done so yet, be sure to get a flu vaccine as soon as possible
- Schedule your wellness visits with your primary care provider to keep up with all other vaccinations and screenings for cancers such as breast and colon cancer. Other items to check-in with your PCP about during your yearly visit:
- Arthritis
- Blood pressure
- Cholesterol
- COPD
- Depression
- Diabetes
- Be sure to eat some fruit, vegetables and whole grains daily.
- Get active! Even 15-30 minutes of daily activity can have a positive impact. Read more about benefits of walking you may not know.
- And finally, pick an intention for the year. 2021 was another challenging year, and 2022 will surely bring ups and downs of its own. Entering a new year with an intention or mindset of what you want to be, achieve, see or experience can help ground you and set your year off right.
