As we grow older, it’s natural to experience some changes in strength, flexibility and balance. Tasks that once felt effortless — like climbing stairs, carrying groceries or reaching for a shelf — can start to feel more challenging. But aging doesn’t have to mean slowing down or losing independence. With the right exercises and attention to movement, you can stay strong, steady and active at every stage of life.

Life moves fast. Between work, family and everything else, it's easy to put off routine health checks — especially when you feel fine. But here’s the thing: cervical cancer often doesn’t show symptoms until it’s advanced.

These are common — and completely normal — questions. The good news is that a Pap smear test is quick, simple and one of the most effective ways to prevent cervical cancer. Let’s walk through everything you need to know so you feel calm, informed and ready for your appointment.
