The top threats to men’s health are rather simple and easy to implement in their own daily lives. If you are a man, and if you want a healthier and longer life, these can be some quick life tips in terms of diet, exercise, and lifestyle.
The first big one is don’t smoke. Whether it is smoke from air pollution or from the second-hand smoke of the friend who is a cigarette smoker, or if you are a smoker yourself, the sooner that you stop smoking then the sooner that you can improve your long-term life prospects.
Then the next one is a healthy, balanced diet such as the Mediterranean diet. It is imperative for someone who wants to live a good life because this has grains, good fats, and lots of colorful greens and lean meats.
The next one is the management of weight with the best way of aerobic exercise like running or biking. It is important to maintain a heathy weight in order to prevent the possibility of heart disease, cancer, and a host of other health problems that come from the poor health habits of people.
This ties into the next Mayo Clinic recommendation of moving. It is cool to eat well and not smoke and do some exercise, but it all connects to a general rule of health that if you move then you will continue to move in the long-term.
Men! Limit your alcohol intake because this is a drug at the end of the day and, for the most part, is something that is damaging rather than improving to your health. If you are a connoisseur or are at various celebratory events, then only drink or do so in moderation.
The last tip is to keep your stress down as this is a modern problem, but the reaction is evolved from hunter-gatherer times when stress could save your life; but now, it is something that simply is fight-or-flight all the time and wears down the body.
With some of these in mind, and if you can keep them up, you can look forward to a statistically higher chance of a healthier life over the long term!
