By Lyndsay S @lyndsinreallife

Most of us will be trying to live the healthiest life that we can by eating well and exercising, however, there are some important areas of your health that you should already be looking after. These include your eyes, your hearing, your teeth and of course your general health. It may seem like a lot of work just to live a healthy lifestyle, but if you keep on top of it all it will become second nature and you won’t even notice it.

Let’s have a look at some of the ways you should already be looking after your body: 

Your Eyes 

It’s essential that you get your eyesight checked out at least every two years. For those of us who already wear glasses or need to see a professional more often for other reasons, it might be every twelve months instead. When thinking about this area of your body, it’s very easy to forget and not worry about it because it can be very easy to skip a check-up. However, if you think that all it takes to look after your eyes is to see a professional every two years, it’s surprising that so many don’t keep on top of it. It can be detrimental to your eye health if you don’t.

Your Teeth

Just like with your eyes you should be having your teeth checked by a dentist such as Forefront Dentistry (if you’re in OK) every year or two years. If you are currently having treatment such as corrective braces it may be a shorter time frame. If you don’t keep on top of your oral hygiene you can risk losing your teeth, suffer from gum diseases, have problems with plaque and suffer from tooth decay. Which most will know can be extremely painful. It’s best to keep up with the health of your mouth rather than leaving it until your in pain. 

Your Hearing 

Your hearing is probably an area that you don’t even think about getting tested. You often have a hearing test when you’re a child and if it comes back as good you don’t think about it again until you notice that there are problems. If you’re really turning the volume when others aren’t, experience ringing or buzzing or are finding it more difficult to follow conversations than you used to it may be time to book yourself in for a hearing test. The longer you leave it the worst it can become so it’s essential you keep a lookout for the telltale signs. 

You General Health 

You should make sure you are focused on your general health in order to look after your body correctly. This means eating right exercising and visiting your doctor for check-ups when you need it. You can’t live a healthy lifestyle of you don’t look after these areas. Make sure you eat a balanced diet, exercise on a daily basis and see your doctor for any concerns you might have. 

These are just four of the ways you should be looking after your body in order to keep it healthy, do you have any others that you can share in the comments?
