The Life-Saving Benefits Of An Annual Physical

About 4 minutes

Hey Brothers,

Welcome back to the LenDentonThrive Letter. I help busy 50+ Guys create lasting health and fitness transformations the smarter, not harder way. 

Most 50+ Guys I know hate going to the doctor and avoid it as much as possible. I know - that used to be me, too. But, not anymore. Today, I understand the importance of getting your annual physical exam. And, in this edition of the LenDentonThrive Letter, I’m going to show you three reasons why your annual exam is your secret weapon for living a long, and healthy life. So, let’s jump in!

1. Catch Health Issues Early

Many serious health problems begin silently. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, or prediabetes often lack early symptoms. For men over 50, catching these early can prevent major complications like heart disease or stroke. These are leading causes of death. And, up to 50% of all cardiac-related deaths occur with NO PREVIOUS SYMPTOMS! 

Your physical includes blood tests and screenings that spot problems before they escalate. Early detection means early treatment and better outcomes. This proactive step saves you future medical burdens.

2. Get Tailored Health and Fitness Guidance

Forget about one-size-fits-all diets or intense gym routines that fail. Your annual physical exam offers personalized insights based on your unique health info. This not only includes your weight, blood pressure, and glucose levels, but also deeper information based on lab tests and scans. 

Here are the 5 health metrics that every 50+ Guys should know:

1. Blood pressure

2. Cholesterol levels

3. Blood glucose levels

4. Body weight and waist circumference

5. Cancer screening metrics (Prostate and colon cancer metrics)

These are all available through a typical annual physical exam.

3. Establish a Long-Term Health Partnership

Think of your doctor as your health partner. Regular physicals build a relationship with a professional who understands your health history and goals. This partnership provides ongoing support for your overall health and fitness journey. 

My primary care physician (PCP) is this sort of health partner to me. If your current health care provider ins’t the type of doctor who you can consider as a partner in your long-term health journey, I suggest that you find one who can be. It’s that important!

Smarter, Not Harder

Remember, sustainable health and fitness isn't about perfection; it’s about consistency and making smarter choices. You don’t need crazy diets or killer workouts. You need smart daily habits that fit into your life and you actually enjoy doing. This is how you build your ThriveLife. 

So, when you schedule your annual physical, you’ll be voting for a healthier version of you.  And, setting an example for those who look up to you!
