Men's health concerns change as you get older. In light of Men's Health Awareness month, AFC Urgent Care Vernon is dedicated to promoting preventative care, offering men the opportunity to get a check-up to address any issues early on, so they can resume life, uninterrupted.
It's time to acknowledge that certain habits, such as unhealthy eating, high blood pressure that is unmanaged, smoking, untreated injuries, and neglecting doctor's appointments, will most likely affect you as you grow older. AFC Urgent Care Vernon wants to help you address these concerns. But first, we need to educate men with our comprehensive men’s health guide, so you can take the next steps to preventative care.
Navigating Health Concerns with Age
Taking charge of your health becomes increasingly important as you age. Men are often susceptible to specific health threats, the most common being:
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Smoking
- Drinking
- Loss of testosterone
Heart disease and diabetes pose significant risks, potentially leading to heart attacks, strokes, and organ failure. Unmanaged high blood pressure and cholesterol often precede these conditions. Furthermore, habits like smoking and excessive drinking can have detrimental effects on men's health, increasing the likelihood of diabetes and heart disease. Regular check-ups play a vital role in preventative care, facilitating a healthier lifestyle.
Prioritizing Health and Safety in the Workplace For Men
June also serves as a reminder to prioritize health and safety in the workplace. Men must take proactive steps, such as wearing appropriate safety gear and adhering to safety protocols, to safeguard their well-being on the job. Startling statistics from a recent update on workplace injuries reveal that men are more prone to work-related illnesses and injuries. This correlation underscores the importance of adopting precautionary measures. In the unfortunate event of an injury or illness, AFC Urgent Care Vernon is here to provide the necessary care and support for a swift recovery.
