Thorsten Hagemann, microbiome researcher and enthusiast, gives a deep look into the benefits of preventive medical care across a wide array of different demographics.
2. WHAT IS PREVENTIVE CARE?
These are services such as shots, boosters, and screenings.
Men, women, and children all have different preventive
care measures that they should take annually, however,
these services span far beyond common yearly physicals.
3. WHO BENEFITS FROM PREVENTIVE
CARE?
The true answer is, everyone can benefit
from preventive care.
4. STARTING EARLY
Children and infants are tested early for
autism and certain behavioral traits, and
are screened for hearing complications and
BMI measurements.
What is equally important is that doctors
work with parents to ensure these illnesses
are avoided as well.Â
5. FEELING HEALTHY IS DIFFERENT
THAN BEING HEALTHY
Preventive care is not always taken as seriously in the
young adult years. Instead of waiting to see a doctor when
you're not feeling well, regular appointments and
screenings can yield early results for serious illnesses now
treatable in their early stages.
6. PREVENTIVE CARE FOR WOMEN
From different cancer screenings to mammograms,
women need to pay particular attention to their
reproductive health as complications in this area can lead
to the inability to have children, certain cancers, and
obesity.Â
7. YOUR HEALTH AFFECTS
OTHERS
Medical professionals are seeing connections
between bacteria in your surroundings and the
bacteria inside of a personâs body. If you are living a
healthier lifestyle, those around you will benefit
from your health.
