5 Health Check-Ups You're Missing Out On

It doesn't matter what age you are; you're always going to worry about your health. Those in their teens and Twenties worry a little less about it, but if you're noticing that you've hit 30 and you're suddenly concerned about your health, you're not alone. Younger people worry less because they believe that they're invincible - it's a mortality thing. However, if you find that you're really wondering how healthy you really are, perhaps it's time to see the doctor and get a checkup.

Making sure you have the appropriate healthcare coverage can ensure that when you do need any checkups or tests, you have the correct insurance to cover the cost. It can be hard to know exactly what type of coverage you may need or exactly what is and isn’t included along with your copays. Look at medicare benefits to find out what plans are available for you to ensure you are getting the appropriate cover for your needs.

There is a range of health tests that we all need from time to time, from hearing tests as standard to the eye tests that we all need to take when our eyesight gets bad. In fact, everyone should get a hearing test regularly to ensure their auditory health is maintained, just as they would with vision and dental check-ups.

Blood Pressure Tests

There is a difference between high blood pressure and low blood pressure, and it's ideal for your blood pressure to remain in the normal range so that you don't encounter subsequent health issues. A blood pressure test is painless, with a cuff fitted to your upper arm, inflated until tight and then released. This allows your doc to know whether there is another issue going on - and be ready just in case!

Bowel Cancer Screening

While screening for bowel cancer doesn't always lead to a diagnosis, it can detect possible issues before the symptoms begin. You'll need to use a testing kit called a Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBt), and this can collect stool samples over a few days, and then they are sent off for testing. Mostly, screening is done for those over the age of 60, but if you are concerned, speak to the doctor.

Breast Screening

Most experts agree that regular breast screening is an essential part of life for a woman, and the earlier an issue is found in the breast, the better chance of overcoming it. You'll have a mammogram performed, where each breast is x-rayed. It's an essential screening because 1 in 8 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Regular screenings should take place from the age of 50.

Smear Tests

Another one for the women! Cervical screening is another way to check for abnormalities that could develop later on. It's an important test that needs to take place, especially as women all over the country are diagnosed with cervical cancer every day. Women should ask their doctor about cervical screening when they become sexually active.

Cholesterol Test

Cholesterol is fat that is carried around the body via the blood. When cholesterol levels are too high, the build up in the arteries can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, and with testing, the doctors can ensure that you are on the right diet and taking regular exercise. It's essential to take note of any issues you may be experiencing so that you can let your doctor know.

Why Oil Is Your Friend This Summer

Via @MerleNorman

While during the summer the last thing you may want is more oil, on your body but as studies have shown oil in the summer won't make you break out like when you were a teen. While we all want that dewy look, many are going for anything to make us look matte, while we may melt running inbetween meetings. What we've learned is that as long as you nourish your skin and use a lighter oil than you would in the winter you'll be glowing through fall.

Ahead, are our favorite oils for summer.

Start with a cleanser from AMOREPACIFIC this effectively cleanses the skin without depleting the skin's own protective barrier. This can be used a makeup remover as well, as it transforms into a silky emulsion when water is added, rinsing perfectly clean with no oil residue. Reviews have said it's ". The luxurious quality and scent make me feel like I'm at the spa."

Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Precious Oil SPF 15 - A luxurious, soothing and nurturing oil with sheer SPF 15 sunscreen, one of the first of its kind.

Sheer, broad-spectrum SPF 15 sunscreen helps protect from UVA and UVB damage. Absorbs quickly, imparts a radiant glow and leaves skin silky soft, smooth and youthful-looking.

Moroccan Elixir is a beauty company that carries handmade organic argan oil and cactus oil from Essaouira, Morocco. The elixir that uses Vitamin E forms a protective layer insulating your skin and hair from thermal heat produced by the sun. By protecting skin and hair, you can help prevent wrinkles, sagging skin, and hair breakage for both men and women. Theargan oil is non-greasy and does not clog up pores. Instead of packing countless beauty products, Argan Oil is a powerhouse product that fights multiple signs of aging, moisturizes every skin type, and is a wonderful face primer for makeup. It’s great for men as well who need a little TLC for their beards!

Afraid of age? So are we, that's why we use Merle Norman Anti-Aging Complex Emulsion Dry Oil Serum. Perfect for hot and humid summer weather, this ultra -lightweight, silky dry oil serum blends beautifully onto skin and begins absorbing on contact. Because of its dry oil texture, there is no greasy residue, making it ideal for those who have oily skin or are exposed to the humidity. It provides immediate hydration for a radiant glow as well as long-term hydration by increasing or decreasing the number of drops you use based on your skin’s hydration level each day, this anti-aging serum will help improve skin texture, firmness, elasticity and suppleness.

How Stress Affects the Body: Men’s Health Edition

Stress is something that most of us deal with daily. Whether it’s due to finances or an overwhelming workload, it seems that feelings of stress have become more normal than not. While a little stress can be beneficial and motivate us to be more productive, too much can become extremely harmful to our bodies, taking a toll mentally and physically. It’s quite common for males to ignore the effects of being stressed, and refuse to seek help when they begin to notice symptoms. They often believe that admitting to these feelings will be seen as a sign of weakness, and typically try to “power through.” There are many ways to treat stress, however dealing with specific situations can become tricky.

In honor of Men’s Health Month, we’re sharing a couple areas in which stress can impact men as well as how they can go about treating these effects.

On your body...

There are many ways in which stress, and the symptoms that come along with it, can impact your body function. Everyone handles and carries their stress differently, so symptoms may vary. However, it is fairly common for men to experience stress-induced insomnia, weight loss or gain, and even sexual dysfunction. Of those mentioned, the most common outcomes of stress men are embarrassed to seek treatment for are those that affect their sex life. Luckily, there are a number of ways to treat these problems in the comfort of your own home. Telemedicine companies like hims make it possible for men to consult a licensed physician who can diagnose the issue and suggest a treatment plan. For example, if you are experiencing premature ejaculation, your doctor may recommend using a lidocaine spray. If you are looking for an alternate approach to treating erectile dysfunction, consider incorporating meditation and a healthy diet into your day to day routine.

On your mood...

Many men who are under significant amounts of stress tend to bottle up their emotions. Often the damage goes unnoticed until they’ve reached the breaking point. This can leave them feeling overwhelmed, angry, and depressed. With these feelings comes an enormous sense of anxiety. While meditation, yoga, and deep breathing exercises can be helpful in getting your feet back on the ground, if you’re finding that the stress is too much to handle on your own, it may be time to seek professional guidance and advice. Talking through the issues that are triggering anxiety can help you understand there are some things you can’t and won’t have control of and give you a handle on your challenges.

It’s time to end the stigma around stress!

Recognize the damage your mind and body are receiving and take the correct steps to alleviate yourself. There is no shame in seeking help.

Comment below on how you plan to deal with your stress symptoms.
