Men’s Health

Mens health is a widely commented topic in magazines, TV shows and newspapers. The most common diseases that affect men are heart disease, high blood pressure, and gastrointestinal cancer. Doctors still don’t have a clear explanation as to why these three diseases are more common in men than in women. My personal life has always been linked to mens health issues because my husband suffers from high blood cholesterol and my father in law passed away last year from complications of a bypass surgery.

A couple of years ago my husband finally understood that If he didn’t make a drastic change in his lifestyle he was probably going to suffer from heat attacks, like his father and his grandfather did. Mens health issue became a priority in my house. Part of the changes he made was that he started to exercise, we jog together each morning, and he stopped eating fried, processed foods and red meat. As a result he lost weight and his blood cholesterol levels decreases significantly.

Mens health is a subject of constant research and innovation. Technological and medical advances have granted us the possibility to prevent, fight, and overcome otherwise deadly diseases. Since men in my family have a long history of heart disease I am constantly reading articles published in medical and scientific magazines to increase my knowledge of this disease. I motivate my husband everyday to keep his healthy life style by cooking balanced, satisfying meals and by exercising with him. I believe he is doing everything possible to prevent the occurrence of heart disease.
