As a tribute to Father’s Day, it is important for men to stay healthy and prevent health problems. It is not just a man’s issue; it’s truly a family issue because it impacts the people who love you—wives, mothers, daughters, sons, and sisters. We’ve all heard the joke that men never want to ask for directions, and studies show that includes directions from healthcare providers. But those decisions can come at a hefty price. “Preventable” health problems can develop and go undetected if timely screenings are not performed. But it is never too late to jump on the bandwagon and get started with using products such as True Pheromones. Make Father’s Day the starting point to be proactive with your health! If you are suffering from erectile dysfunction, hypertension, or other health conditions, it’s time to give your health more focus.
The great news is you don’t have to have a colonoscopy every year! To get you started, here are a few guidelines for screenings and check-ups to follow:
And don’t forget to include exercise and nutrition in your health plan. Healthy eating can reduce risk for prostate cancer, keep the mind sharp, and lower the chance for heart disease (#1 cause of death for men in all races). When it comes to prostate health, supplements like Prostadine help regulate the production of testosterone and supports bladder function. You can find out more about it here.
