As we step into 2025, the new year is a chance to embrace healthy living. For seniors and other Florida residents who are eligible for Medicare, key wellness goals start by making healthy decisions in collaboration with your doctor and health plan. When planning for your health in 2025, consider the following goals and tips.
Wellness Goals for a Vibrant 2025
Stay active: Ask your doctor about physical activity tailored to your ability level. Consider online fitness programs that offer a range of exercises from yoga to light aerobics, which can improve mobility and overall health. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, explore any fitness program covered by your plan.
Eat well: A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can help combat disease and keep you energized. For a dietary plan that meets your specific health needs, ask your primary care physician to recommend a nutritionist or nutrition program if covered by your health plan.
Regular checkups: Seeing your primary care physician at least once each year may help prevent or identify concerns before they become problems. Keep up with regular screenings and preventive services covered by both Original Medicare and by Medicare Advantage plans.
Mental health matters: Prioritize your mental health by staying connected with loved ones, engaging in hobbies, and seeking professional help if you experience signs of depression or anxiety.
Smart financial planning: Managing healthcare expenses is crucial. Familiarize yourself with your Medicare benefits to assist in budgeting for unexpected medical costs. This understanding may help ensure peace of mind and financial stability.
Embrace technology for health: It’s never too late to learn new technology, especially when it may help enhance your health. Ask your doctor about wearable devices that monitor vital signs and encourage activity. If it’s difficult to go see your doctor, ask about telehealth options that may let you connect by computer or phone.
Stay informed: It’s important to review your Medicare plan options every year to make sure your healthcare coverage keeps up with your changing needs. The right plan can support your wellness goals.
