When it comes to health care, we men are like ostriches. We bury our heads in the sand. We are much less likely than women to visit our doctors regularly, take symptoms seriously and live a healthful lifestyle. Maybe that’s one reason why women have a seven-year average survival advantage on us!
Yet it’s obviously important that men of all ages become more proactive about their health. And an easy way to start is to follow these 10 basic steps to maintaining health and vitality.
- Eliminate "white foods" from your diet.
- Stay away from dangerous trans fats.
- Take a daily vitamin-mineral supplement.
- Incorporate weight training in your exercise routine.
- Maintain your optimal weight.
- Drink alcohol only in moderation.
- Protect your prostate.
- Reduce your risk of prostate cancer.
- Maintain vigorous sexual function.
- Maintain close relationships.
