Gone are the days of having one general physician be your sole, go-to healer and cure-all for every ailment. We are a much savvier generation who thinks more about prevention, drawing from both Eastern and Western wisdom. And you know that taking care of your health and beauty involves getting regular beauty treatments, seeing your doctors for annual or biannual checkups and maintaining good habits -- all which contribute to your overall well-being. But did you know that some of these things might actually save your life?

See the health and beauty treatments that might save your life.

We sat down (well, not literally) with the following experts from a broad spectrum of fields: Lena Bratschi, a CIDESCO (an international beauty therapy association) trained esthetician and founder of Carasoin Spa in Beverly Hills, Calif.; Dr. Jeff Golub-Evans, a cosmetic dentist; Dr. Craig Austin, a New York City Dermatologist and creator of Cane + Austin Products; Ashley Borden, a fitness and lifestyle consultant (with a hefty celebrity clientele, BTW); and Shelena Robinson, nail professional and educational ambassador for CND (creative nail design). They explain the benefits of certain health and beauty treatments, appointments and habits, how often you should do them for optimal wellness and what might happen to your health if you don't do them. So, if you're pretty diligent about taking good care of your health, you'll find out how this care is benefitting you. Or, if you're not so good about making yourself a priority, you might get a little lesson in prevention and early detection and what you should be doing now to make sure you're around to see your children's children.

Interesting piece. Some of the "impact without treatment" portions seem a bit dramatic.

Ideally I would love to do all these when required to, but I foresee that becoming very expensive. Except for working out and eating healthy I can't afford to do everything at all the times necessary. Ah!

I believe that for the busy person who really does not take care of their skin this is a very good article. We know that they will not heed to all the suggestions, but, if they take one or 2 points away it will be to their benefit. Face it, if they are busy, they are probably not going to read the entire article anyway!!

I have never had a massage, I'd like to try it

Wow! Good luck convincing my husband to let me get a massage once a week! I would love to, but I usually only get one every several years. I work a very stressful job, so perhaps it may be worth looking into!
