Have you made your Doctor's appointment(s) yet? I have these on my Cosa da fare List:
- Vaccinations (still need a flu shot)
- Complete physical for retirement--this is very, um, "comprehensive"
- Behavioral health check-up (why not?)
- Annual dental screening--actually, I am overdue
- Annual eye exam--also late
- Annual health and wellness screening
- Periodic blood lab because my oncologist is a data freak
I will post my status updates here, and on my "Mo Space" at MoBro.Co/FoamFan. Practice what you preach, right?
Recently I highlighted a dozen men's health issues with statistics published by Movember USA and WebMD.com. Remember?
Now I want to encourage all my Mo Bros and Mo Sistas to "harass" the men in your lives to get a checkup and pay attention to the results! The earlier you find a problem, the more likely you can deal with it and extend your life expectancy.
I am especially interested in two topics:
- early detection to identify and treat various forms of cancer, and
- physical activity to reduce stress, manage weight, and maintain good mental health
So here are three things men can do in Movember to change the face of Men's Health
- Put down the razor and give your face a frickin' break already!
- Grab the phone and get an appointment for a physical exam. Just do it!
- Go for a brisk walk: burn off a few calories and generate some FREE serotonin!
And, if you are so inclined:
- Link to this post and share it with others
- Cruise over to MoBro.Co/FoamFan and make a donation
- Post a comment to let me know you support the Movember cause
Live long and prosper!
