Here are some healthy living recommendations to keep in mind for your health check list when speaking to your doctor.

Routine checkups can help identify a number of conditions that can impact a man’s health. Some checkups and screenings for men are a physical exam, a testicular exam or a prostate-specific antigen blood test.

120 over 80 is generally normal blood pressure range, so talk to your doctor about your numbers. A preferred cholesterol range should be less than 200 milligrams per deciliter. You should strive to get at least seven hours of sleep.

For many men, cancer is a word you would rather avoid. Yet learning about cancer may help you keep your health in check. The cancers that most affect men are prostate lung and colorectal.

Consider talking to your health care team about whether prostate cancer screening is right for you as early as age 45-50 for men who are at average risk and as early as age 40-45 for men who are at higher risk.

Every man is unique, so talk with your health care team about the numbers, screenings and vaccines that are right for you.
