Healthy Lives, Living, Doing

Two blogs posts in one day! Imagine that
Here is the thing I want to communicate. Its short and sweet and its meant for all you men out there primarily. As I blogged before, when you reach the magical age of 50, come down off that idea that you’re indestructible. No fellow men beings… You are not. Decidedly not. Its worth that much to head to the doctor’s and get checked. I lived all these years not knowing or perhaps wondering and it turns out I had High Blood Pressure. Take care of yourselves fellow beings. My daughter told me “daddy take care of yourself; you gotta be with me for a long time”.

I waited longer than I should have and it meant I had to do more and take more. Why even wait to 50. Go make an appointment with a doctor. I was very lucky. My wife being a RN found a doctor for me and we hit it off. I was also lucky that genetically I am not predisposed to high bad cholesterol. Check that out definitely and do the other things around certain organs. In my case I have had to do a few things which were emberassing or at the time made me uncomfortable or less than manly. But you manly men! You can all do this too. I am not a sterling example of fitness. I drink too much, eat too much. But in the end for me, eating what AFT calls bar food has not caught up with me at all. Check out both types of cholesterol. Here’s a place to find out. WebMD offers a lot of other advice. And before you complain…

Yes. It is worth it.
