Men’s Health

Get informed:
Be knowledgeable about your health and don’t ignore symptoms or complaints.

Vary your workouts:
The body gets very comfortable when you always do the same workout. Vary your exercises – with an age-appropriate mix of aerobics, muscle training and stretching.

Eat to thrive: 
Getting enough nutrition is crucial. Focus on nutrients rather than calories and eat a variety of healthy foods. 

Prioritise sleep: 
Get at least seven hours. 

Check your head:
Mental health is really, really important. Think about several things: Are you drinking too much? Are you paying attention to signs of depression or bipolar disorder, which often get missed? If you have a family history of mental illness, suicide, and/or substance abuse, you really need someone to help you review the signs and symptoms.

Stay ready for sex:
When you’re stressed out, not sleeping, or drinking too much, you can’t get an erection on demand, and a man’s erection is a barometer for overall health. Exercising, eating well, and sleeping well contribute to a healthy sex life.

Care for your prostate:
The prostate grows as you get older. You’ll almost certainly have symptoms, like urinary problems. A really healthy, low-fat diet will reduce the likelihood of prostate growth and may reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Enjoy yourself:
Look forward to every day, to doing something for yourself every day, whether it’s a run or listening to an audiobook or practicing meditation or yoga. Don’t save up all of your fun for your holiday.

Find a doctor:
Choose one you’re comfortable with, so you can openly discuss all aspects of your health.
