If its new year resolution was to improve your health and well -being and yet your goals have not been able to progress as expected, it is not too late to rename.
– Check your health goals
Maybe your plan was to eat better, be more active, socialize more or simply feel better and with more energy. Make a list, be specific and establish a schedule. And take this with you during your annual well -being visit or your next visit to your health provider.
– Plan your attention visits
Make a list of medical appointments that you will need this year and that you have not yet scheduled. This may include your annual well -being visit, preventive exams, dental and visual appointments and vaccines. Then start programming those appointments. It is possible that health providers program appointments in advance, which can offer more options.
– Prepare for your appointments
Take notes about how you feel currently, any concern you have and your medical care goals. When doing this, you can help ensure that you remember important information to share with your doctor, which can help you make the most of your time together.
– Catalogs your Medicine Cabinet
Prepare a list of all the medications you are taking. Do not forget to include vitamins and supplements. Share this list with your primary care provider during your next visit or your annual welfare visit. Important: Be careful when discarding expired or unnecessary articles. Visit the US Food and Drug Administration website (www.fda.gov) To obtain some tips.
– Check your benefits
In addition to covering well -being visits, preventive exams, medications and other medical visits, check that other benefits may be included in your health plan to help you achieve your health goals, including the benefits of gymnasium, behavioral care and financial support for food and other needs.
– Do you want more health information?
Consult your medical care provider to receive more information, specifically on topics you discussed during your visit. Go to the website of your health plan for educational information and benefits. Members of UnitedHealthcare can go to www.unitedhealthcare.com .
Look for health information and care on reliable web pages, which may include academic medical institutions, health departments and non -profit institutions related to health.
– Evaluate your progress every quarter
Take your list with your health goals and the health recommendations of your care provider. How much have you achieved? Maybe I wanted to treat dental or vision problems, lose weight, exercise or focus on your mental health.
If you have made progress, continue. If not, it is not too late to start reaching your health goals. Go to “There is no better time than this to schedule an annual welfare visit” by UnitedHealthcare for more information.
Studies suggest that small and sustainable changes can lead to continuous health improvements. No matter how much progress has made to meet your health goals this year, every day it offers a new opportunity to focus on your health and well -being.
