2014 Men's Health Conference: Eating for Life

Saturday, November 15, 2014
8 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.

Most men would say getting an annual checkup is about as much fun as getting a root canal. But despite their reluctance to visit a doctor, it’s essential for men to know their numbers and take responsibility for their own health. To help them get started, Parkland Health & Hospital System, along with the Dallas Public Library, is sponsoring the 2014 Men’s Health Conference from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 15 at the Dallas Public Library, 1515 Young St., Dallas, 75201. Titled “Eating for Life” the conference is open to male residents of Dallas County. There is no cost for attending.

The program will feature health and nutrition seminars, health screenings, cooking demonstrations and consultations with medical providers. Informational sessions will be offered in both English and Spanish. Refreshments and lunch will also be served.

“Men should regularly participate in primary health care and have a regular examination throughout every decade of their lives,” said Noel Santini, MD, Medical Director of Parkland’s Community Oriented Primary Care health centers. “Each decade brings on new health opportunities and by participating in regular check-ups, men are able to act on their health care concerns rather than react.”

The most common health conditions experienced by men include heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, low testosterone and cancer. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men in the United States, killing 307,225 men in 2009 alone. The Prostate Health Guide reports that each year more than 230,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer and about 30,000 will die from the disease.

Parkland physicians provide the following health tips for males of all ages:

  • Get to know your numbers and have them checked regularly by your medical provider based on your risk factors and clinical practice recommendations. This includes blood pressure, A1C, body mass index, triglycerides and cholesterol.
  • Consume minimal amounts of salt, sugar and fat.
  • Exercise regularly and control your weight.
  • Have the recommended screening tests or exams for testicular, colon, prostate, skin cancers, etc.
  • Drink alcohol only in moderation.
  • Do not smoke.
