A reminder to evaluate habits as one ages through Men's Health Month.

Aging can be a challenging journey for men, and that’s why we have Men's Health Month in June: to reflect on our habits and make positive changes.

Dr. David Rzeszutko, Vice President of Medical and Clinical Operations at Priority Health, has shared his expert advice for men who want to lead a healthy and fulfilling life.

• Health screenings are crucial at all stages of life.

In your 20s, an annual physical exam can keep your cholesterol and blood pressure levels in check. Regular self-examinations for testicular cancer are also recommended. If you are in your 30s or 40s, don't forget to check your glucose levels and get screenings for prostate cancer and heart disease. When you hit 50, make sure to add electrocardiograms and vision and hearing tests to your screening routine.

• Educate yourself about your health and family history – it will pay off in the long run.
• Watch your diet and exercise regularly – a well-balanced diet and physical activity are indispensable for your well-being. Eat your greens, steer clear of sugary drinks and treats, and hydrate with water.

Your physician should be your ally in health – hence, building a good relationship is key. If your doctor doesn't listen to your concerns or if you feel unsupported, consider changing physicians or seeking a second opinion.
