A CHECKUP WITH THE DOCTOR……
A recent survey conducted by RBC Insurance found that only 39% of Canadian men said they see their doctor every year whereas only 59% of women attend their yearly checkups. The survey found that most people would rather partake in some ungodly household chore than to schedule an appointment with their physician. The mentality still stands that if I’m not sick I don’t need to go…. This is not the attitude that should be present. Checkups with your doctor are just that – checkups – they may provide information leading to onset of diabetes, high cholesterol, ladies those yearly tests – all of these things that if CHECKED and CAUGHT and PREVENTED can lead to a healthier, happier, and longer lifespan. I am an advocate for healthy lives – which includes fitness, supportive eating, and taking care of yourself. So do yourself a favor and if you haven’t seen your good friend Dr.Soandso in the last year, take the proactive step and make an appointment.
