The list of the greatest threat to men’s health is surprisingly short. The top causes of death among men are heart disease, stroke, cancer, and chronic lower respiratory disease. The good news is that a few lifestyle changes can significantly lower the risk of these common killers.
CHECK YOUR LIFESTYLE:
Making healthier lifestyle choices will help you take charge of your health. For example, throwing away that cigarette or other tobacco products that you have been taking. It is possible if you ask your doctor to help you quit. It is also important to avoid exposure to passive smoke, air pollution and exposure to chemicals (such as in the workplace).
HEALTHY DIET:
Nothing works better for your body than a healthy diet as a man. Choose to eat organic foods and proteins such as meat, fish, and beans. At the same time, limit your food intake and practice fasting. A healthy diet program will lead you to lose excess fat and shed off that extra weight and lower your risk of heart disease, as well as various types of cancer.
WAKE UP AND MOVE:
Exercising isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but including physical activity in your daily routine will help control your weight and lower your risk of heart disease and stroke. By getting in motion, you may also lower your risk of certain types of cancer. You can make the physical activity more enjoyable by choosing sports or other activities you enjoy such as soccer or brisk walking.
AVOID ALCOHOL:
Men, avoid alcohol. If it’s totally impossible, you can take your alcohol only in moderation. That means for every man, it doesn’t matter the age. The risk of various types of cancer, such as liver, appears to increase with the amount of alcohol your drink and the length of time you have been drinking regularly. Too much alcohol also raises one’s blood pressure, so you may want to consider your drinking habits.
AVOID STRESS:
If your feel constantly on edge or under assault, your lifestyle habits may suffer, and so might your immune system. Take steps to reduce stress, or learn to deal with stress in healthy ways.
BEFRIEND THE DOCTOR:
Many men would rather have nothing to do with white dustcoats. They wait to see the doctor when something is seriously wrong with their health. Remember that your doctor can be your best friend when it comes to preventing health problems. If you have health issues such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure or diabetes and he recommends a treatment plan, follow it to the letter. Also, be sure to do your research, and consult a professional doctor. Conduct regular cancer screenings and other general health evaluations as well.
DO YOU HAVE A TOXIC WIFE?
A toxic woman is the last person you want to interact with as a man. Toxic women are walking death traps, and will make you lose your frame. Do not date or marry a chaotic woman who is manipulative and controlling. You are the man, take control. Toxic wives will use you, dump you, and if you are married, they will take everything from you after a divorce. To avoid such stress that may lead to depression, men should build their foundation with the right women, strengthen their frame and stack up their value instead of getting into chaotic relationships.
YOUR CAR YOUR SECOND WIFE?
Motor vehicle accidents are another common cause of death among men. To stay safe on the road, use common sense. Let your seatbelt be your friend at all times. Follow the speed limit, do not drive under the influence of alcohol or any other substance that intoxicates you. Also, do not drive while sleepy or fatigued.
FEELING SUICIDAL?
Another risk to men’s health is suicide and one of the main triggers is depression. If you have signs and symptoms of depression, such as feelings of sadness or unhappiness and loss of interest in normal activities, consult your doctor. Although depression has no treatment or cure, there are ways to control and finally overcome it.
The bottom line to good health is to understand health risks and take action to reduce the risks. Start with healthy lifestyle choices- eating a healthy diet, staying physically active, quitting smoking and getting recommended health screenings. The positive impact will be greater that you can imagine.
