Do you find yourself sacrificing healthy habits to get things done quickly? I find myself doing that. Eating fast food so I can get to a meeting on time instead of sitting down for a healthy salad. Going to bed later and later to get things done during the only time I have to get things done...in the evening.
In fact, we all find ways to cut corners of healthy living. Sometimes I wonder if I am neglecting my health when things are really hectic. I've been reading more and more about heart disease and preventive screening options. Something that I've never heard of that I didn't know was available was mobile health screening. I mean this makes sense to me. Fast and convenient.
Honestly I thought that they would take some blood and my blood pressure and send me on my way. But I'm finding that there are certain health risk I fall into that mobile health screening can actually screen for such as:
Peripheral artery disease
Osteoporosis
Stroke
Preventive health screening has come a long way. So my first step is to check with the human resources person at my job to see if they provide screening and what type of preventive screening will they be willing to pay for if they don't offer it.
I also decided to include some frequently asked questions on mobile health screening that I think would be helpful to print out and give to my HR department.
