Nutrition Tip: June - Men's Health Month
Heart disease and stroke remain the leading causes of death among men, while type 2 diabetes, lung disease, prostate cancer, and mental health conditions continue to affect millions each year. Many of these conditions share common risk factors, including poor diet, physical inactivity, smoking, excess body weight, and unmanaged stress.
Simple lifestyle changes can make a significant difference. Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, staying physically active, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding tobacco, limiting alcohol, and getting enough sleep all support overall health. Regular screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and prostate health, when appropriate, can also help identify problems early. Mental health deserves equal attention. Building strong social connections, managing stress, and seeking help when needed are important steps toward overall wellness.
