Taking Care of My Body: Health Habits

November 4, 2021

When it comes to taking care of your body, there are certain habits like brushing your teeth and bathing that happen frequently. Dr. Mary Ciccarelli talks about health habits most adults do and offers tips like setting a reminder system and practice to make it a routine. Maybe you can set a reminder on your phone or mark it on the calendar to check your nails every weekend to see if they need to be trimmed. You can also ask someone in your life to help remind you.

Dr. Ciccarelli is a professor of clinical medicine-pediatrics at Indiana University School of Medicine, specializing in primary care and care coordination for persons with disabilities.
