Men - it's about time you started treating your health with as much interest as you treat your car! You may think you're as good as gold, but there are certain measures you should take to "tune-up" to ensure things are running smoothly. Fill up with good fuel - the National Institute of Health encourages men to eat 5-9 servings of fruits and veggies a day. Rev your motor - you should exercise every day - experts recommend 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise on most days of the week. Clean your grille - Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, and floss once a day. Protect yourself - use condoms. Condoms are used for birth control and to help reduce the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Full physical exam - get a yearly check-up with your doctor to reveal any health issues and to prevent colon cancer, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, high blood pressure/cholesterol, and other conditions. Skin self-exam - you should keep a close watch on your skin for moles that could be cancerous. Report any findings to your physician. Dental checkup - in addition to brushing and flossing, visit the dentist every six months for a cleaning and complete checkup. Flu shot - to ward off flu viruses, get this annually before the flu season. No one likes to visit the doctor for those yearly physicals, but the truth is, there's just no avoiding it! You're not gonna get much enjoyment out of that sports car unless you take care of this short list of men's health concerns first.
