Congratulations! You’re healthy as a horse!

Great job! You’ve done well managing your health and wellness. At Shield Vitamins, we appreciate people like you! It takes the initiative and motivation many people don’t have to keep up with our bodies. Keep up the excellent work and share your inspiration with others because our health is the gift that keeps on giving. In the meantime, check out some of the things you’ll want to keep an eye on to keep looking and feeling good.

Get a colonoscopy.

According to the American Cancer Society, colon cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and women. You should begin routine colonoscopies once you hit 50 (earlier if you are at higher risk). The test is safe and minimally invasive and is critical in helping detect the early stages of colon cancer for effective treatment.

See your eye doctor.

You may have noticed that reading the fine print isn’t as easy as it used to be and that reading glasses have become your new best friend. Unfortunately, your eyesight doesn’t get better with age. But, working with your eye doctor is essential because the signs of eye disease are often subtle. Be sure to get a good baseline exam. Keep your doctor informed of any changes, especially pain in your eyes, decreased vision, trouble seeing when driving at night, redness, and flashes or floaters in the eye.

Get serious about your diet and exercise.

Diet and exercise always play a crucial part in your health. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics notes that, along with fiber, other vital nutrients include B-12, calcium, vitamin D, and potassium. Skip the sugary drinks and keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Exercise can help prevent, delay or manage many chronic diseases that pop up after you hit 50 (such as heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and obesity) and help to prevent falls. The exercise you invest in today can impact your health for years to come.

Be good to your skin.

Your skin is your largest organ, and eventually, you’ll start to notice changes to your skin, such as wrinkles, age spots, loss of elasticity, and dryness. Check-in with a dermatologist for a regular skin cancer screening, as the risk for skin cancer, increases with age. Other helpful hints to keep your skin looking great include regularly using sunscreen, staying or becoming smoke-free, and bathing in warm water with gentle soap and moisturizer.

Show your heart some love.

The risk of heart disease increases as we age. The risk for heart disease among women increases once they hit menopause. Eating a heart-healthy diet that includes omega-3s, healthy oils and vegetables, and regular exercise can help decrease the risk for heart disease. Take time to talk to your doctor about any concerns and educate yourself on heart attack and stroke signs.

Take Your Vitamins

No matter how healthy you eat or what kind of diet you follow, it can be difficult for your body to get all the nutrients it needs from food all the time. Every diet can have gaps, and factors outside your diet can play a role. In the areas where your food falls short, getting support from a quality multivitamin helps fill nutrient gaps—no matter your dietary preferences, age, or current life stage.
