MedsPLUS wants to equip and empower men to take charge of their health. How?
1. Schedule a check up with a healthcare provider. It is important to see your doctor regularly even if you don’t feel sick. Many serious health conditions don’t have symptoms.
2. Adopt healthy habits. A healthy diet and regular physical activity can help maintain a healthy weight, lower blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol.
3. Learn family history. Talk to your family about which diseases may run in your family. Many of these inherited diseases can be delayed or even prevented with timely intervention.
4. Receive preventative care. Use the myHealthfinder tool at www.healthfinder.gov for personalized recommendations on clinical preventative services.
