Greetings!
Have you noticed that even the slightest mention of the word "doctor" has your man running for the hills?! If so, he is not alone. Please continue reading to learn about three major concerns to be aware of in men's health and how to keep the men you love healthy. |

Health Checks for the Man in Your Life
According to a recent study, men are much less likely to have visited the doctor in the past year. And, the price men pay by not getting routine health exams and missing out on potentially lifesaving screening tests can be high. This is why it is often up to the women in their lives to recognize these threats and get them the preventative care they need to stay healthy.
His Heart Health
Heart disease is the leading health threat to men. Being knowledgeable and proactive in matters of the heart can significantly reduce his risk for heart disease. Good nutrition and an active lifestyle play big roles in keeping his heart healthy, but identifying health risks early can lead to better health. Click here for this easy health risk assessment that can save his life!
His Weight
Men are more likely than women to gain weight around their waist, which puts them at a greater risk for serious health problems than people who accumulate weight in other areas. Regardless of his overall weight, having a large amount of belly fat will increase his risk for heart disease, diabetes, and sleep apnea. The good news is that these chronic illnesses can be prevented with physical activity and proper nutrition. St. Francis HealThy Self has the tools he needs to make a positive change in his life!

Colonoscopy and Prostate Screening
It is recommend that all men receive both a colonoscopy and prostate screening at the age of 50. And, with prostate cancer being the leading cancer among men, this screening could save his life!
