Don’t forget about water
In general, it’s a good idea to hydrate before seeing the doc for a checkup. ‘Being well hydrated at the time of a physical will make your pulse and blood pressure at their best,’ Dr. Dewar says.
‘If you are having blood work or urine testing done, being mildly dehydrated can cause artificial abnormalities in the testing that can confuse the results.’ Although you do want the doctor to be able to see what your normal lifestyle is like, you should be drinking lots of water daily, anyway.

Great advice! I never gave coffee even a thought.
Most of them I already knew. The addition was wonderful to add to my list.
I do almost all of them. I have advised some family members of some. I feel good now knowing that I have been doing the right thing.
Am i to conclude that tea which wasn’t mentioned in this advice should also be included as something to be avoided also. This might something that be included in this advice piece.
I was really impressed with this article. Somethings I knew about, but those I didn’t realize. Thanks for the information.
