Now, you want&nbsp;your physician&nbsp;to catch you on a good day, right? You don&#8217;t want to take your physical in the middle of fighting off the flu, or on a day when you&#8217;re really stressed, so here are some tips for putting your best foot forward at the physical:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avoid nicotine and caffeine leading up to your physical. The concern here is that these will bump your blood pressure up a few BPM&#8217;s, and your physician will wind up thinking that you have high blood pressure when the truth is you just had a Monster energy drink this morning. So stay clean and stick to water on the day of the physical.<\/li>\n<li>Work out&nbsp;<em>after<\/em>&nbsp;your physical. Skip the morning trip to the&nbsp;Canby, OR&nbsp;gym, and do your workout later. Again, this is going to affect your blood pressure. Take a walk to get your system going, but keep the running or weight lifting for later.<\/li>\n<li>Let your physician know if you&#8217;re afraid of needles. Don&#8217;t try to play it tough. If you have an actual&nbsp;<em>fear<\/em>&nbsp;of needles, that&#8217;s going to affect your test results, so it&#8217;s better if they know upfront.<\/li>\n<li>Be honest. You can&#8217;t trick a physical exam. Get enough sleep, drink plenty of water, and avoid any substances and you should do fine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you&#8217;re shopping for life insurance in Canby, OR, call&nbsp;Oliver Insurance and see what they can do for you. If you&#8217;ve been meaning to quit smoking or lose weight, life insurance discounts can be the perfect motivator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before you can be covered by a term life insurance policy, you&#8217;re going to have to undergo a physical.
