Prevention helps you catch health problems early. Learn what preventative tests are covered this year, such as vaccines and annual screenings like mammogram, pap smear, PSA, cholesterol and glucose. No authorisation required for first annual testing. Use the correct providers to avoid out of pocket costs.

Hot days can worsen blood pressure and dehydration. Sip water often, rest in shade, wear a hat, and ask your doctor before changing salt or fluid if you have heart or kidney conditions.

If you feel dizzy or confused, seek urgent help.

Prevention is always better than a cure, meaning it is smarter to take steps to avoid a problem from happening in the first place than to deal with it once it has occurred.

Preventive care includes medical services and practices aimed at preventing illnesses or detecting health issues early. This involves vaccinations, regular check-ups, screenings, and health education, all designed to maintain overall health and prevent more serious conditions later on.

Please refer to your Schedule of Benefits for a list of your preventative care benefits.

The holiday season doesn't have to be a time of loneliness. Focus on connection, self-care, and meaningful activities, by doing the following;

• Stay in touch with loved ones through calls or visits,
• Engage in physical activities like walks or light exercise, and
continue with hobbies or traditions you enjoy.
• Practice gratitude, encourage reflection on things you are grateful for, this can improve mood and a sense of connection.
• Eat nourishing food, while enjoying holiday treats, a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains must be maintained for energy and your mood.

Acknowledging and gently addressing feelings of grief, isolation, or stress is also crucial while ensuring adequate rest.

Following a medication schedule precisely as your doctor prescribed is crucial for the successful management of a chronic illness. It aids in the following:

Disease control and prevention of complications: For conditions like hypertension, consistent medication prevents uncontrolled blood pressure, which can damage the arteries, kidneys, and eyes. For diabetes, steady treatment prevents dangerous fluctuations in blood sugar levels.

Reduced risk of medical emergencies: Non-adherence can lead to a worsening of the condition, increasing the chances of emergency events like heart attacks, strokes, and hospitalisations.

Improved quality of life: By keeping symptoms under control, medication allows you to perform daily activities and enjoy a better overall quality of life.

Avoidance of drug resistance: With illnesses like HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, taking medication correctly is vital to avoid developing drug-resistant strains of the disease.

As we grow older, staying mentally sharp becomes just as important as staying physically active. Cognitive health (our ability to think, learn, and remember) is key to maintaining independence and quality of life. The good news? There are practical steps we can take to support brain health every day.

Here’s what helps:
- Move your body regularly to boost blood flow to the brain
- Stay socially connected to reduce isolation and keep your mind engaged
- Eat smart - focus on whole foods rich in nutrients and fiber
- Manage chronic conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes
- Get enough sleep (7–9 hours a night is ideal)
- Challenge your brain with puzzles, reading, or learning something new
- Limit alcohol and quit smoking to reduce risk factors

These small lifestyle changes can add up over time. Whether you're caring for an older loved one or thinking ahead for yourself, it's never too early (or too late) to start building habits that protect your brain.

Let’s keep the conversation going. What’s one thing you do to stay mentally active?
