Health Issues To Take Care Of In Your 50s

Congratulations! You are half a century young. However, our body may disagree.

Here are a few things that you might want to consider discussing with your doctor at your next annual or routine visit :

1) Bone Health - Women are more prone at developing osteoporosis than men. This is due to hormonal changes that happen at menopause that directly affect bone density.

2) Well Women Exam - If you have not had a pap or mammogram in the last 5 years, its time to do it.

3) Heart Health - Women are at greater risk than men partly because heart disease is under-recognized and undertreated in women,” Dr. Sparano says. “And, although both genders are at risk when certain health conditions exist - including high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking and obesity – there are some unique reasons why heart disease in women may go undetected, untreated and lead to progressive disease.” Sadly, women often get the brush off whenever they complain of chest tightness, stress or chest pain.
