We know preventative screenings are not high on your list of things to do... but many health problems are easily managed, or even prevented with early intervention. Unfortunately, the fact that men are much less likely than women to schedule routine check-ups, puts them at higher risk for health problems.
What screenings should you be getting?
Men older than 50 should have a yearly physical exam, and men younger than 50 should have a physical exam every three to five years. Even if you're feeling healthy, a regular checkup with your provider is a good way to validate your health or identify a problem in its early stages.
Tip:
Don't think that good health only refers to how you fee physically. Your whole being is interconnected between your body, mind and spiritual health. Talk to your provider if ANYTHING is feeling "off" or "not right."
Did you know that some physical ailments are actually caused by emotional and mental issues? For instance, if your blood pressure is high, you may not need blood pressure medication to correct a physical ailment. You may need to address some other things like your mental and emotional well-being, your diet or environmental pressures. Contact us today to schedule a time to talk.
