Let's face it, men tend to be less attentive to their health needs.  We ignore our body's warning signs, we eat like we are teenagers rebelling against mom, we pretend fishing and corn hole are cardiovascular exercise, and we skip anything doctor related whenever possible. 

There's a popular and true saying: "It's all good until it isn't."

Once we hit the "ISN'T" stage, it is often too late to get back to where we could have been.  It's why we try to have these little reminders to take care of yourself and avoid the "isn'ts" It really doesn't take a lot of effort, just some consistency.  You also have to exercise a little self-control to avoid the bad stuff.

•

Start today while it's all still good.  How long has it been since you've visited the doc for a checkup?  I know we like to think that if we ignore or deny it, the bad stuff won't come.  "Ignorance is bliss." as the old saying goes.  The truth is, early detection is key to recovery and doctors can test for issues before we even feel any adverse affects.

Keeping yourself in your best condition isn't much different than keeping your car or truck running its best.  Skipping maintenance and ignoring the warning lights leads to an inevitable, expensive breakdown.  The good news when it comes to your car, you can buy new parts or even a new car if you've run it completely into the ground.  Not so with your body.  What would you rather drive, a broken down clunker or a top running cruiser?  You are in control of the result if you take the time for the maintenance.
