Check Up! What Every Woman Should Know About Her Health

February 4th, 2012 - By Erica Renee

Unfortunately just because you look good, doesn’t mean you’re actually good, as it relates to your overall health. As society places an emphasis on outer beauty and physical attributes, the attention surrounding internal health is many times lost in the mix of superficial advertisements, even more superficial music, and the assortment of reality shows that seem to pop up every other week.  Some of us forget about our health until we actually visit our regular doctors. That is, if we even decide to visit our doctors regularly.

Flawless makeup, close to impeccable hairstyles, and donning the latest trends, may be shielding infectious diseases that could have been prevented if we simply decided to check. What’s even more problematic is that most of us don’t know, until it’s too late.

While we all love to look our best, the physical doesn’t matter if eventually your health fails, due to your own negligence of testing. So unless your signature is followed by M.D., it’s advisable to go to a physician before assuming you’re healthy.

Here are seven tests and screenings that you should certainly undergo to ensure that you’re really healthy.

    i agree with sugar_spice!! Please ladies, PLEASE, Vitamin D is essential. And it has nothing to do with age. I was nineteen when I was diagnosed with severe vitamin D deficiency with levels at 4. So please, get that checked. ASAP.

    “Are you preventing cancer?”

    Doing self check ups don’t prevent cancer.

    I implore all women to get their Vitamin D levels checked!  I thought I was relatively healthy (I eat well & am very active) until my hair started shedding excessively.  I was also irritable often & always tired.  I got blood work done & found out I had a vitamin D deficiency.  About a month after starting my recommended vitamin dosage & lifestyle changes, I noticed I got my energy back & wasn’t in a foul mood all the time.
