Medical Check-up
Before I started over, I went to my doctor for a medical check-up. Following things were checked.
- Blood values
- Blood pressure
- Vision
- Hearing test
- Weight
- Urine
- Diabetes
- Prostate
- Family history (Depression, Heart disease)
- Smoking habits
- Alcohol usage
Because I am over 50 he recommends to do this check-up once a year.
Luckily everything is OK and from a doctor point of view I can (re)start with my ambitions.
Teeth
Another thing which I did and do regular, is visiting my dentist. Even if I´m not a big fan of going to the dentist, I strongly believe that having
healthy teeth is vital. Especially hidden infections can only be detected by a dentist and can have a bad effect on your overall health.
I already have experienced this and lost two tooth in the process.
In a study, Oral health problems and mortality, the researchers concluded: “Multiple oral health problems were associated with a higher risk of dying.”
So oral health is important and not negligible.
Just to clarify things. I’m not working for any of the above mentioned companies nor do I get any money or any other benefits from them. It’s all my own opinion. If this changes I will state it clearly. Thanks for reading.
