5 Important Ones to Attend To
At this juncture of middle age, a lot of us will enter a somewhat comforting world of denial where we’ll ignore the niggling pains that have started to creep up upon us.
.
We’ll bury our heads in the sand when it comes to checking up on our health.
.
The challenge is that like or not, we aren’t immortal. Our bodies do go through a process of wear-and-tear. It’s therefore a good idea to have a quick check-up on these common health indicators.
.
That said, getting older doesn’t mean you should get out the fiddles and start listening to “I did it my way”. There’s so much to squeeze out of life. Beauty is ageless!
.
.
Below is a quick list of 5 Middle Age Maintenance Check-ups:
.
Your Middle Age Maintenance Check-Ups #1
Eye Test
.
The majority of people today, particularly given the intensive use of computers, televisions, and mobile devices we all use require a little help to correct their sight.
.
As we age the health of our eyes can start to deteriorate so it’s good to check a check-up, not just for glasses. Check-ups will help to confirm holistic optical health and rule out conditions such as glaucoma.

Hearing Test
.
The good news is hearing evaluations are one of the less invasive tests required. However, many of us begin to lose the edge of our ability to hear others, which leads to severe and totally unavoidable communication issues.
.
The ability to communicate is so important, and if you are struggling with your hearing, then it’s a good idea to get a quick test. It’ll be over in a jiffy and could save a lot of embarrassment down the line.
.
The other thing to note is that some hearing aids are now totally hidden within the ear itself.

Your Middle Age Maintenance Check-Ups #3:
Blood Pressure

Your Middle Age Maintenance Check-Ups #4:
Cholesterol
.
Given the processed diets we often find ourselves living on, out of convenience, many of us have clogged-up, furry, hardening arteries. This is a major cause of heart disease.Clogged arteries are something you should address by a change in diet, sooner rather than later.
.
You can even order self-testing kits to measure your own cholesterol levels online.

Your Middle Age Maintenance Check-Ups #5:
Breasts and Balls
.
Okay, the title might be a bit cheeky, but this one needs to grab your attention. We all feel a little timid to get such sensitive parts of ourselves tested; particularly for something as significant as prostate cancer or breast cancer. However, there’s no benefit in burying your head in the sand ~ ignorance is not bliss.
.
According to statistics, 1 in 3, or even 1 in 2 people will develop cancer at some point in their lives. If there were to be something that wasn’t quite right, the best thing you can do is to start treatment as soon as possible. Well before the cancer starts to spread and rampage through your body.
.
The best thing to do is to book an appointment to get checked out. The likelihood is you’ll have the all clear and benefit from a greater sense of peace of mind!
