Yesterday I had the pleasure of heading into the doctor for my annual physical. I got to chatting with the nurse and she started congratulating me on making the decision to come into get a physical, especially being only 30 years old. I thought "wow, this is an odd thing to congratulate a guy on," so I went ahead and said, "I thought that's the thing you're supposed to do when you turn 30." She then proceeded to tell me that it IS the thing that people are supposed to do when they turn 30, but that men in general tend to ignore this point and will wait until they are sick to come in.

Because of this new found information, I'm writing this post to beg all of you that are 30 or older to go in and get a physical, ASAP! Seriously, stop reading this and call your doctor! Don't have a doctor? Call a friend and find out who they go to. The point is for you to go!

Why is it so important for you to start getting a physical? The main reason is that it will help the doctors prevent you from getting sick. There are tell tell signs that your health is deteriorating that the doctor will see. Things like rising blood pressure, rising cholesterol, rising weight, and various other things that may be there but may not make you "feel" sick. Detecting these things early can not only keep you from getting really sick, but it could detect something even more serious in the early stages. One of these things could be a potential heart attack, diabeties, or heart disease. Obviously these are things you don't want to have as a young or old guy.

Another thing that my doctor discussed with me yesterday is the rising cases of testicular cancer in younger men. That's right! Cancer on your nuts! Not a good thing...really! So guys, please, please put whatever it is that is preventing you from going to the doctor aside and go to the doctor! You never know, he or she might just have a nurse like the one above

One more thing. I've included a very good video for you to watch for being such a good guy and sticking around to read this post. Once you are done with the video, get off your computer and call your doctor!
