What Is Preventative Care?
Preventative care forms the foundation of good health. It involves screenings, regular check-ups, and counseling to prevent diseases, detect health problems early, and manage them effectively.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, cause nearly 74% of deaths annually in the United States. These conditions are often preventable or manageable when caught early, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emphasizes the importance of preventative services in reducing these risks.
Regular preventative care can significantly lower healthcare costs and improve quality of life by identifying risk factors early and managing them proactively.
Our Preventative Care Services
We offer a range of preventative care services that focus on early detection and management of health risks.
Diabetes Testing and Management
Diabetes affects more than 38 million Americans, and nearly 1 in 2 people with diabetes are unaware they have it. Early detection through comprehensive testing, such as fasting glucose tests and A1C tests, is crucial. Most cases of type 2 diabetes could be prevented or delayed through lifestyle changes and regular screenings.
At Zeam Health & Wellness, we help patients manage their risk with personalized plans that include dietary guidance, exercise recommendations, and medication management to help maintain optimal blood sugar levels.
Hypertension Screening
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, affects approximately 47% of adults in the United States. Known as the “silent killer,” hypertension often shows no symptoms and is a leading risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Regular screenings are critical, as only 1 in 4 people with hypertension have it under control.
At Zeam Health & Wellness, we offer comprehensive hypertension screenings using advanced diagnostic tools. We provide personalized plans that include lifestyle changes, medication, and regular monitoring to help manage and reduce blood pressure effectively.
Obesity Screening and Counseling
Obesity is a significant public health concern, affecting nearly 42% of American adults. This condition is linked to a higher risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.
Our approach at Zeam Health & Wellness is holistic. We provide obesity screenings along with comprehensive counseling focused on sustainable lifestyle changes. Studies show that losing just 5–10% of body weight can significantly reduce health risks and improve overall well-being.
We work with patients to create realistic and individualized plans that include dietary adjustments, exercise routines, and behavior modification.
Cardiovascular Testing (e.g., EKGs)
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally, responsible for nearly 18 million deaths annually. In the United States, it accounts for 1 in 4 deaths.
At Zeam Health & Wellness, we prioritize heart health with comprehensive cardiovascular testing, including electrocardiograms (EKGs) to detect heart abnormalities. Regular cardiovascular testing is essential, especially for those with a family history of heart disease or symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath.
Cholesterol Testing
High cholesterol affects nearly 94 million U.S. adults, and without proper management, it can lead to severe health issues such as heart attack and stroke. Cholesterol testing is vital for monitoring heart health, and reducing LDL (bad) cholesterol can significantly decrease the risk of heart disease.
At Zeam Health & Wellness, we offer both fasting and non-fasting cholesterol tests and provide guidance on diet, exercise, and medications to help patients manage their cholesterol levels effectively.
Cognitive Testing
Cognitive decline is a growing concern, particularly as the population ages. About 10% of people aged 65 and older have Alzheimer’s disease.
At Zeam Health & Wellness, we provide comprehensive cognitive testing to identify early signs of cognitive impairment. Our tests evaluate memory, attention, problem-solving skills, and other cognitive functions. If concerns are detected, we work with patients to create tailored plans that may include mental exercises, lifestyle adjustments, or further medical evaluation.
