Under the Affordable Care Act, you and your family may be eligible for some important preventive services—which can help you avoid illness and improve your health—at no additional cost to you.
BlueCross BlueShield of Florida has just released its 2011 Preventative Care Guidelines: To discuss with your Health Care Provider. Click here to view the comprehensive document.
Now, more than ever, it is time to take charge of your health and start living a healthy lifestyle. With that said, here's another great health tip resource from BCBSFL: It’s never too late to establish healthy habits and lower your risk for heart disease and other chronic conditions. Obesity is the second leading cause of preventable death in the United States.
• Eat more fruits and vegetables and choose low-calorie, high fiber foods.
• Get active and consult your physician on the appropriate amount of physical activity.
• Take advantage of preventive benefits included with your plan.
• Stay healthy; know and keep track of your numbers regularly for blood pressure, cholesterol (LDL & HDL) and Body Mass Index (BMI).
Please note: Be sure to verify your benefits for preventive services. These recommendations were developed as a guide for BCBSFL members and are not intended to replace your physician’s judgment.
Until Next Week,
Michelle
