My Healthy Check health checkup screening results
I just got back from my Healthy Check annual checkup through Anthem Blue Cross, and the results were pretty good I think. I’m posting them here to demonstrate how healthy eating and exercise can influence health. I ride my bicycle about 6 days a week and eat three balanced organic, mostly home cooked meals a day. I don’t drink or smoke or take drugs. I take no medications on a regular basis. When I have a cold, I take plain generic aspirin and perhaps a cold capsule and some cough syrup. I consider my health to be excellent. I am truly grateful for my health. I wear 110 SPF sunscreen on my face, neck, ears and hands nearly every time I leave the house, even if it’s overcast out. I’m also posting this information here for my own benefit, so I don’t lose the results in my file cabinet. If I post the results here each year, I’ll always be able to find them from anywhere. I also got a flu shot today, included at no extra charge in my checkup.
