Doctor's advice:

• Health is an incredibly valuable resource. It is easier to prevent disease than to treat illnesses and their complications. Attend annual preventive check-ups, stay up to date with vaccinations, and do not postpone seeing a doctor if you develop symptoms. Pay attention to how you feel — and your body will thank you!
