June is the month we specially honor the fathers in our lives. June is also Men’s Health Month — the perfect time to celebrate all the men we care about, by encouraging healthy lifestyle choices and behaviors. Regardless of age, there are proactive steps that can be taken to help ensure long-term wellness and wellbeing for the men around us.
Throw out the Tobacco: Smoking is a known cause for erectile dysfunction in men. It also contributes to eye disease, cancer heart disease and diabetes. The lifespan of a smoker tends to be ten years shorter than that of a non-smoker. But smokers who quit by their 40th birthday can expect to live nearly as long as those who never took up the habit. Quitting before age 55 can restore up to 6 years. Tips for helping someone quit include joining a support group, chewing gum instead, drinking lots of water throughout the day, and keeping hands busy with a pen or toothpick. Throw away cigarettes, and be sure to avoid smoking venues and smoking friends. Find new hobbies or activities, get active with exercise, and try to relax using deep breathing when stress creeps in
Sleep Well & Move More: More and more research is proving that lack of sleep can lead to serious health issues, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and depression. Men need on average 7-9 hours of sleep per night. In addition, they should be getting at least 2 ½ hours of moderate-level aerobic activity each week, including muscle strengthening exercises a minimum of twice weekly. Small daily increments are just as valid as fewer longer workouts. Men who have difficulty falling asleep may benefit by trying Eniva Health Natural Sleep. This non-addicting, no-side-effects liquid formula helps prepare the body for sleep and helps it stay asleep through the entire sleep cycle.* For energy during workouts, men should try Eniva Health UltraSHOT – a natural supplement to give the body an extra boost without all the caffeine, taurine, artificial ingredients or sugars.
Eat Healthy, Stay Healthy: We’ve all heard it by now: fruits and vegetables provide the necessary vitamins and minerals – and especially antioxidants – needed for the body to perform at its best. Fresh, organic varieties are ideal, but when time, budget or busy lifestyles don’t allow for the perfect diet, supplements can help. An all-liquid, high-antioxidant version, such as Eniva Health VIBE, can fill in those nutritional gaps. It’s ability to support healthy DNA is also important for men who may be under stress or are having physical challenges.* Eliminating foods and drinks high in calories, sugar, salts, fats, and alcohol can also contribute to healthier outcomes.
Manage Stress & Monitor Signals: Stress can sometimes be a good thing, but for the most part, a bad thing. Stress needs to be tamed so it doesn’t lead to unhealthy habits. Planning the day in advance, taking mini-breaks for deep breathing or relaxation exercises, and working in physical activity to release stress can all help. When stress does take its toll, men tend to avoid regular doctor checkups… not a good thing. Symptoms of chest pain, shortness of breath, excessive thirst or urination, or serious sleep issues are all issues that signal a visit is in order.
As men age, fluctuating testosterone levels, colon function, and heart performance are health factors that men especially need to be aware of monitor regularly.
