Consider adding free time for computers, iPads, and other blue-screen devices to your daily plan for the next four weeks.
Men’s health is typically disregarded in light of modern life’s hectic schedules. In order to keep up with the fast-paced lifestyle, it is crucial to take good care of your health. It is crucial to provide knowledge about the prevention of specific conditions that can be changed by dietary changes, exercise, and mindfulness. The goal is to lessen or completely eradicate the health issues associated with depression, cancer, and heart disease. Some cancer signs include changes in bowel habits, bloating, chest pain, shortness of breath, lumps, and new moles. Other signs include indigestion, back or stomach pain, and abrupt weight loss (dyspepsia). It is best to speak with your doctor because these typical symptoms could indicate another transient, non-dangerous health issue.
How should men’s health be cared for moving forward?
Change your diet for 4 weeks. You can start by making simple, doable changes, such as increasing your intake of fresh fruit and vegetables, reducing your intake of fried foods, and abstaining from alcohol for one month. Fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants that rid the body of free radicals and micronutrients necessary for its basic needs, hence minimising cellular deterioration. Red meat should be avoided in the diet to prevent colon cancer. Because males consume a lot of soya bean and its products, prostate cancer is less common in Japan. Soy protein can be added as a protein source to assist maintain lean body mass.
Make a few goals for the next four weeks
Plan to add 60 minutes of exercise each day for four days a week, such as walking, swimming, playing golf, badminton, or any other outdoor game, or working out in a gym, and commit to sticking with the plan. This can help with weight loss, muscle growth, strength training, or a sense of well-being by producing the “Endorphins,” the feel-good hormones. Exercise-induced endorphin synthesis can produce a high that can endure for the following 24 to 48 hours.
Give phones and blue screen gadgets a break. Create a daily calendar for 4 weeks that includes free time for mobile phones and blue screen devices (computers, ipads, and televisions). According to research, prolonged use of these gadgets causes the brain to become overstimulated and causes the hormones “Serotonin, Dopamine, and Oxytocin” to become less abundant. These hormones can be restored by engaging in creative pursuits including music, painting, nature-based activities, hobbies, playing with children, and boosting social interaction in the real world as opposed to the virtual one. This can lessen stress and the likelihood of developing heart illness and depression. An evening spent with friends may really lift your spirits!
As a doctor who treats cancer patients who also have heart disease and depression, I believe it is important for men to be aware of their wellness and that it should be promoted at all levels. By making small changes, men can enjoy years of good health as they age instead of spending their time in hospitals and seeing doctors.
