Physical Health
We all know the drill – family, work, responsibilities. Sometimes, our health gets pushed to the back burner. But here’s the deal: Prioritizing our physical health isn’t selfish. It’s the ultimate power move.
Men’s physical health revolves around a healthy diet, exercise, emotional support for balancing priorities, and knowing your numbers through routine screenings.
It isn’t easy to balance it all, but we’ve got your back.
No magic wand can give us all six-pack abs or achieve perfect harmony with everything we’ve got going on in life. Achieving a foundation of physical health starts in childhood and means ensuring our kids have physical education activities.
Men are living shorter lifespans. But there’s hope. We can close the gap by prioritizing our physical and mental health-seeking behaviors so that we can be around longer for the ones we love.
We can always start NEW. Taking charge of our physical health can begin at any time in life. Some basic tips include:
Nutrition
Getting five servings of fruits and vegetables per day.
Sleep
Getting at least seven hours of sleep per night.
Physical Activity
Getting 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity per week.
Stress
Finding healthy ways to manage stress and relax improves overall well-being and balance with our priorities.
Diet
Maintaining a healthy weight and prioritizing hydration reduces blood pressure, joint wear and tear, and heart disease risk.
Know your Numbers
Keep up on your vitals like blood pressure, cholesterol, PSA (depending on age). Knowing can be a lifesaver!
