Everything’s online these days, so why shouldn’t you take advantage of the free health resources you can access? The trick is finding credible sources that give you good information, and, of course, the Web can never take the place of sitting down face-to-face with your doctor.

But there are sites that provide good information on prevention of diseases and medical conditions, as well as how to cope with being ill. Following are five sites recommended by Truckers News for help with maintaining or improving your health.

American Heart Association

The American Heart Association site is a gold mine of tools and resources for heart health and weight loss. The site offers tools like the Start! Walking Guide, which allows participants to keep track of their daily exercise and goals; the What’s Your Risk section, where you can enter information to get an estimate of your risk for certain conditions like diabetes; and the Heart360 Online Health Tracker, which lets you keep up with your vital stats. The site also includes a number of heart-healthy recipes and exercises.
