This is just as important for women as<br />
it is for men but we know from<br />
research studies that many men<br />
will not go anywhere near a<br />
Doctor unless dragged there<br />
or blackmailed!!<br />
So all you men, if<br />
you are offered health<br />
screening take advantage<br />
of it! Depending upon<br />
where you live you will<br />
have access to different<br />
types of screening but<br />
do remember virtually<br />
all kinds of screening are<br />
available privately. If you have<br />
concerns about family history of<br />
certain conditions have a chat with<br />
your Family Doctor.<br />
Some examples of health screening are:<br />
• Blood pressure<br />
• Cholesterol<br />
• Diabetes<br />
• Bowel cancer<br />
• Prostate cancer<br />
• Aortic aneurysm<br />
Think about it.......You wouldn’t drive a<br />
car for 50 years and expect nothing to go<br />
wrong with it! Checking brake hoses can<br />
save you from injury, death or disability!<br />
Now apply that same logic to your body.<br />
Screening for the above does not just<br />
improve prognosis for cancers and help<br />
prevent a fatal ruptured aneurysm but<br />
also helps avoid strokes, heart attacks,<br />
kidney and eye disease and even<br />
amputations!<br />
So, seriously think about screening<br />
tests. (See March Special Offer at the<br />
