5 Tips for Your Next Doctor Appointment If you see your doctor every year for a routine checkup, good for you! Annual exams are important for maintaining health and well-being. Have you ever left the doctor’s office only to realize that you forgot to bring up a significant health issue you’ve been experiencing? Our time with the doctor is limited, so we want to ensure we use that time appropriately. Make the most of your time with your physician using these five tips. 5 Tips for Your Next Doctor Appointment 1)Come prepared. Make a list of medications and supplements, concerns, and recent lifestyle changes. 2)Take notes. Bring a notepad or ask your doctor for a printout of your visit. 3)Be honest. Don’t fudge the data when you tell the doctor about your health habits. 4)Ask questions. Make sure you understand any new treatment plans, prescriptions, or diagnoses. 5)Get resources. Ask your doctor for pamphlets, support groups, or other ways to help you learn more.

Every year on July 24th, International Self Care Day promotes self-care as a vital foundation of health. It’s also a day for people around the world to prioritize self-care and make it a part of their lifestyle. When you take care of yourself to stay well, you are practicing self-care. Staying well includes taking care of your whole self: physically, mentally, and emotionally. For some, self-care also includes taking care of themselves spiritually. So what exactly does self-care look like? It could be as simple as having some quiet time each day or having coffee with a friend. Self-care is especially important for caregivers. It’s easy for a caregiver to pour all of their time and energy into another person. Doing so eventually takes its toll. As the saying goes, “You can’t pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first.” Senior Care Authority of North Florida
