Everyone is at a different point on his or her health care journey. Family history, lifestyle, age, diet and activity level are all factors that affect your health. “It’s important to review all medications with your health care provider,” Whiting said. If illnesses and diseases are detected early, the available treatment options will be more varied and some diseases may be prevented -- thus, lowering your health care costs down the road.
