Return to Story IndexINTRO MEN'S HEALTH
EYEWITNESS NEWS REPORTER DARRAH WILCOX HAS MORE IN THIS WEEK'S HEALTHY FOR LIFE. AS PART OF NATIONAL MEN'S HEALTH WEEK, EXPERTS ENCOURAGE MEN TO BE PROACTIVE IN LIVING A HEALTHIER LIFE. THAT CAN BE AS SIMPLE AS JUST GOING IN FOR A CHECKUP. "We get routine bloodwork to make sure a patient's cholesterol looks okay, make sure that their blood sugar, their electrolytes, kidney and liver function, seem to be okay." Doctors can identify chronic diseases earlier, and then lay out treatment options. "The biggest things we have to deal with are blood pressure problems, cholesterol problems, blood sugar problems, diabetes." They not only handle those types of ongoing chronic medical conditions, but also screen men for other sorts of diseases, like prostate cancer or colon cancer. "I try to make my patients feel as comfortable as possible you know understanding that most men don't like to come to the doctor, and if you recognize that fact and try to cater to that, then I think that that makes it easier to be seen on a regular, more frequent basis." Here are five ways you can get on track to better health: FIVE WAYS TO GET HEALTHIER: *get more sleep *exercise more *tame stress *eat healthy *toss out tobacco get more sleep exercise more tame stress eat healthy toss out tobacco And take that first step by going in for a simple checkup. "Whether it just be one visit a year to make sure things look good, you're on track with general screening protocol, I think making that time for yourself and making that priority is probably the most important thing we can stress." sigout YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE MEN'S HEALTH TIPS ON WCHS TV DOT COM.
