AARP The Magazine just had an interesting article (April/May Issue, page 33) about how some seniors don’t go to the doctor regularly because they feel great. As we have seen with COVID-19, many diseases and viruses are symptomless but if left untreated can turn into something very serious. Researchers have been studying this phenomenon which they call future-time perspective. The more time we perceive that we have, the more we’re able to ignore the fact that we’re overweight, have high blood pressure or cholesterol levels, and other serious health problems. Make sure you see your doctor at least once per year.
