Remember when I said I learn something worthwhile on every Mid-Morning, which was my motivation for my writing a daily blog? Well, today's show tests that theory. (Not really!)
Dr. Marv Eastlund and wellness consultant and personal fitness trainer Kerri Zurbuch select the topics for their monthly Mid-Morning visits. Today it was prostate health. I know men have prostate glands but today I learned why: the prostate produces a fluid that comprises about 1/3 of a man's semen, so it's crucial for sexual intercourse. We are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made.
What I found especially helpful from our discussion was advice on getting your husband to actually go to the doctor. Telling him he needs to/should go won't motivate him. Dr. Marv suggests emphasizing the cost-saving value of preventive care. Investing in regular screenings for cholesterol, blood pressure and prostate cancer are more economical than treating a disease that's had time to progress and worsen. Kerri advises the relational approach. Your husband wants to see his kids grow up, graduate high school, marry, and have their own children. Putting his health on "Project Status" helps ensure your hubby will be around for future big moments and small, yet meaningful, everyday experiences.
What do you know? Mid-Morning really is talk worth talking about!
