Simple Tips to Help Men Improve Their Health

June is National Men’s Health Month, and the health experts at Envolve, an integrated global healthcare company, are helping to bring awareness by sharing few easy ways for men to improve their health.

1. Cut the junk. Take small steps to decrease your fast food and junk food consumption. Simply eating a regular-sized portion instead of a “supersize” is a step in the right direction. Increasing intake of fruits and vegetables is good way to diminish your waistline while boosting your overall health and immune system. Enhancing your nutritional intake can dramatically decrease your risk for heart disease, cancer and stroke.

2. Move and play. If you enjoyed a sport as an athlete in the past or simply partook in a pastime activity like walking, golfing or tennis, now is the time to renew that interest. Incorporating just 30 minutes of physical activity two to three times weekly, can help improve your health. Don’t care for organized sports? Do some yard work, take the stairs, or channel your inner child and play with the kids or the family pet. Getting fit is shown to decrease your risk of heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory illnesses and stroke.

3. Snuff the puff. Quitting smoking can decrease your risk of heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory illnesses and stroke. Ask your Primary Care Provider (PCP), place of business or health insurance plan for help finding local smoking cessation programs and support groups.

4. Relax and restore. Incorporate a healthy stress management routine to decrease stress, restore your well-being and boost your immune system. Accidents are often caused by people not thinking clearly due to fatigue. Adopting a stress management program can improve your quantity and quality of sleep, thereby reducing your risk of falling asleep at the wheel and other accidental injuries. Effectively managing stress also decreases your risk of heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory illnesses and stroke.

5. See your doc. Men are less likely to make annual exams with their medical providers. Getting checked out regularly helps you be aware of any issues that could affect your health and helps you avoid preventable problems.
