4 health tests not to skip

1 Hearing test

Primary care doctors don’t typically screen for hearing loss. But, “if you’re not hearing well, you can miss out on important conversations and instructions from your physicians,” says Susan Klugman, M.D. Hearing loss can also lead to depression and impaired memory. People 50 and older should have their hearing tested every one to three years, with a baseline screening at age 50. You can have your hearing tested by an audiologist, or try a hearing test app like Jacoti, Mimi or SonicCloud.

2 Bone density test

Burn fat in your sleep

By mid-December, most of us are short on time and energy-yet we'd still love to slim down a bit before Santa arrives.
