Wednesday, April 13th, 2016

Hitting the 50th mark is often considered to be the turning point for any person. Ā The Golden Age is the moment when we can truly take pride in the achievements we have made in our lives. Itā€™s only natural to feel accomplished as we get better in time, though we hope to say the same in regards to our own health and well-being.

As we look forward to reaching our fifties, there are also other things that you should be expecting once youā€™ve reached that age. Time has always been our good friend for reminding us that our bodies, Ā too, have a limit.

While testosterone replacement therapy in Florida is one of the treatments that most men take as an anti-aging elixir, Ā to be practical you, should also be aware of other health challenges so that you know how to prevent and even prepare for it.

  • Heart Disease
    Risk in heart disease increases as we age and no matter how hard we try there is always a possibility that it can sneak up to us in the least expected way. Moreover, research shows that people in their forties and fifties, even in their early thirties, have a higher percentage rate of heart disease due to high cholesterol and hypertension.For men, heart complications are more prominent and manifest itself much earlier than women. Considering that health disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women it would be best to take necessary course of action to prevent this, like dedicate your time in doing cardio workouts, running exercises, and lessen your consumption of food high in cholesterol.
  • Obesity & Diabetes
    Much to the dismay of the whole population, as we age our bodyā€™s metabolism slows down gradually. Without daily exercise and proper diet plan incorporated into your lifestyle, you will eventually gain flabby abs and an expansive waistline.Furthermore, weight gain largely contributes to increasing the risk of diabetes. People that reached the overweight or obese level are more likely to develop diabetes. With proper health maintenance and right diet, you will be able to manage your weight, sugar levels, and blood pressure, which improves your quality of living.
  • Prostate Cancer
    Comes second to lung cancer as a common type of cancer in men, prostate cancer is problematic for men over 50 up to 75. Similar to diabetes, men are prone to getting prostate cancer when they are overweight.In the early stage of the cancer, it can be contained by the following treatments: Brachytherapy, wherein radioactive seeds are implanted into your prostate; Radiotherapy, a treatment using high energy x-rays to destroy cancerous elements; and Radical Prostatectomy, the prostate is removed surgically. But if the cancer is much more aggressive than anticipated, you will likely need to take a combined treatment of hormone therapy and radiotherapy.
  • Back Pain
    The spinal cord is probably one of the most vulnerable parts of our body as it is composed of vertebrae: 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, sacrum; and supporting the spinal column are muscles and ligaments. Studies have indicated that at least 15%-20% of the American population experience back pain. In this case, it also affects all ages but are more common during our mid-years ā€“ in ages 40 to 60.Back pains that last more than a week should instantly seek for medical diagnosis, as this indicate a disease and it may require treatment. SCI, or spinal cord injury, is one of many factors that a person experiences back pains or even chronic pain. The cause of this is usually due to nerve damage and is rather hard to completely eradicate, but with proper therapy, it can be managed.
