Thankfully, most men's health threats are largely preventable. At the top of the list: heart disease, cancer and unintentional injury.
Understanding health risks is one thing; taking action to reduce those risks is another. It's important for men, as well as women, to make healthy lifestyle choices, such as:
- Eating a healthy diet
- Staying physically active
- Quitting smoking
- Getting regular checkups
So what can men do?
You can lead by example and remind your friends to make healthy choices and plan activities that keep you physically active, too.
What can women do?
Encourage the men in your life to live a healthy lifestyle and get medical attention when needed. Remind him his children will be influenced by the example he sets when forming life-long health habits. And agree on an exercise routine that involves, and is enjoyable to the both of you.
