Thinking
they are invisible  

One health mistake people make when they are young that they regret later is that they think they are invisible. They think that health issues such as heart attacks and strokes occur when people are older, so they don’t have to worry about it now. But health issues can happen at any time in your life. You need to watch out for signs that something is wrong with your body. Make regular checks so you can spot early if there are any unusual lumps. You need to make sure you go for health checks at the doctors. It’s so important that they can check that everything is okay with your body. ​

Not looking
after their teeth well

Another health mistake people make when they are young that they regret later is they don’t take care of their teeth well. They think that it doesn’t matter if they don’t go for appointments when they are young. But if you take charge of going for appointments now, you will have fewer issues with your teeth when you are older. You can find many dentists you could go to such as this dentist office here for regular appointments. As well as going to appointments, you need to make sure you are brushing twice a day. You need to floss as well, so you have a lesser chance of having gum disease when you are older.

Not looking
after their skin
​

An additional health mistake people make when they are young that they regret later in life is not looking after their skin. You need to start a skin routine now so that you age gracefully. If you don’t look after your skin, you will end up with wrinkles and scarring later in life. You should find a skincare routine which works for you as everyone’s skin is different. Make sure you moisturize so your skin stays nice and healthy.

Another health mistake people make when they are young that they regret later in life is they drink too much alcohol. They tend to go out binge drinking which can affect your liver over time. You don’t want to end up with liver disease as you drank too much when you were in your 20’s. Therefore, 
start cutting back now to ensure you stay healthy as you get age. Stick to the recommended guidelines for drinking, and talk to your doctor if you feel you are addicted.
Remember to make sure you are getting enough sleep when you are young. As this article says, only 29% of millennials said they were getting enough sleep at night. If you don’t have enough sleep, it can lead to weight gain and other health issues. Therefore, try and get more sleep now!
