A guide for health and well-being for you and your family. 3 Simple Ways Men Can Improve Their Health (BPT) - Men don't have the best track record when it comes to taking care of themselves. It's safe to say we all know someone who is just plain stubborn about going to the doctor. Even if they exhibit clear symptoms that should be checked out, say wheezing, chronic fatigue or worse, it can be a challenge to get them to seek medical help.
you go to the doctor only when you're sick or not feeling well. So, what's the most common barrier that prevents men from seeing a doctor? Answer: themselves. According to a 2016 survey conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of the AAFP, 31 percent of men wait until they feel extremely sick before seeing a doctor, and 21 percent say they have no reason to go to a doctor when feeling healthy.
Of course, not all men are like this. In fact, as a whole, men have been As Filer says, "Not feeling sick is getting better about taking care of not necessarily the same as being themselves, according to new data healthy." gathered by the American Academy of Family Physicians. Early detection and preventive care are two of the most important "Men have begun paying more ways to maintain health and prevent attention to their health and acting potential health concerns from to maintain good health," says becoming major problems.

"They are getting Though more men exercise in 2016 physical exams, increasing their than they did in the AAFP's 2007 exercise activity, and getting their survey (80 percent vs 74 percent), health care from their regular many men still spend a considerable doctor." amount of time looking at screens. With this encouraging news, it's important to remember that men's health is still a big concern. By keeping the following three points in mind, you can help yourself, or a loved one, lead a longer and healthier life.
In the 2016 online survey of 916 men across the country, the AAFP found that men spend, on average, about 20 hours each week working at a computer and 19 hours in front of a television.
While it's nearly impossible to Health care is preventive, too. avoid screens in this day and age, It's a common misconception that men should be motivated to take on
