June is Men’s Health Month—and with Father’s Day around the corner, it’s the perfect time to focus on staying strong, healthy, and independent. For men over 50, taking care of your health means more than just eating right—it’s about staying ahead of age-related changes and having the right tools and support to keep moving.

Let’s take a look at a few key health tips and how ThedaCare At Home can help support your goals.

1. Get Regular Health Screenings

Prevention is everything. These screenings are recommended for men over 50:

  • Prostate cancer
  • Colorectal cancer
  • Blood pressure and cholesterol
  • Diabetes or pre-diabetes

Talk to your doctor about how often you should get checked—early detection makes a huge difference.

2. Stay Physically Active

Regular movement does wonders for your heart, joints, and mood.

  • Aim for 30 minutes of moderate activity most days of the week.
  • Mix in strength training to maintain muscle and bone health.
  • Even low-impact exercise like walking or swimming can have major benefits.

Bonus tip: Outdoor exercise has added mental health perks—sunshine, fresh air, and stress relief.

3. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle

It’s not just what you do—it’s how you live.

  • Eat a balanced diet full of lean proteins, veggies, fruits, and whole grains
  • Get 7–9 hours of sleep per night
  • Avoid smoking and limit alcohol
  • Prioritize your mental well-being—stress takes a physical toll, too

4. Use the Right Equipment to Support Your Health Goals
