As you get older, your doctor will recommend more preventive screenings. But your age isn’t the only factor to consider! Your family history, behaviors, and even living or work environment can impact your disease risk.

Communicating this information to your doctor helps them recommend the right screening at the right time. You can also look into preventive screening options yourself at questhealth.com. The sooner you know about a health issue, the sooner you can take steps to treat it.

To drink or not to drink? 🍺 🤔 It’s a good question to ask yourself. Mindful drinking encourages you to think about why and how much alcohol you drink. It’s not about giving up alcohol entirely. Instead, it helps you understand your relationship to drinking and make better choices for you.

That may mean drinking less. Cutting back on the amount of alcohol you drink can help lower your risk of heart disease, liver disease, and certain types of cancer. So think before you drink! 🍻

Check with your doctor on what is an appropriate amount of alcohol for you.

Remember all the home remedies from your childhood that made you feel better when you were sick? They seemed to work because Mom, Dad, or a family member said so! While many natural ingredients and practices are based on love, they’re also backed by a bit of science. 🍃 For example, mint is rich in antioxidants, can ease indigestion, and soothes symptoms of the common cold.

Fact: Your body is about 65% water. That means you need a lot of it to stay hydrated. But drinking plain water isn’t the only way to get your recommended amount. Snack on some watermelon, dress up your water with bubbles and fruit, or enjoy a juicy popsicle. Being properly hydrated will help you feel more energized, sleep better, and improve bodily functions like metabolism, brain activity, and circulation. 💪

No DEET, no mosquito bites, no problem! 🦟 DEET has been getting a bad rap, even though the EPA considers it a safe and effective insect repellent when used correctly. But if you’re still on the fence, there are plenty of other EPA-registered products that help prevent mosquito bites. Look for common DEET alternatives like picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus. Always refer to the product instructions for how to use insect repellents safely.
