Health Check Game
Every good habit builds a healthier you.
Every mole in this game is a good habit. Rome wasn't built in a day — and better health isn't built in a day either. Little habits add up long before big results show, so whack each mole the way you would keep the habit behind it: every good habit you keep today is a point won for your health. Big results come from small habits done regularly.
Each mole stands for a good habit, and every habit you keep today is worth 2.5 points. Every player gets 5 bonus points at the end. Score over 70 to win your day — that means keeping at least 27 good habits.
Each box holds one good habit. Whack the mole to mark that habit done for today.
The moles are your good habits. The more of them you keep each day, the more you set yourself up for better health.

Brain
- Stroke: Blood supply to the brain being cut off.
- Dementia: Memory loss, confusion and difficulty finding words.
Eyes
- Cataracts: Eyes become cloudy, vision blurry, and sensitive to light.
- Dry eyes: Eyes burn, itch, or produce fewer tears.
- Far-sightedness: Difficulty focusing on objects that are close.
- Glaucoma: Fluid pressure damages the eyes, which can lead to loss of side vision.
- Age-related macular degeneration: Damage to the light-sensitive part of the retina, making reading or driving difficult.
Heart
- Elevated blood pressure: Too much force from blood rushing through the arteries.
- Weak, narrow or damaged blood vessels: Vessels that can't carry blood the way they should.
- Clogged arteries: Artery walls coated with plaque, stored fat or calcium.
- Heart attack: Not enough oxygen-rich blood reaching the heart, often from blocked arteries or stress.
- Arrhythmia: Heart rhythm out of sync.
Kidneys
- Chronic kidney disease: Diabetes and elevated blood pressure are common contributors.
Lymph
