Is there a man in your life that has pushed their health to the side? Maybe it’s your father, husband, or friend? They do so much to provide for their families but they don’t take the time to take care of themselves. No matter what you say or do to help, you can’t force them to make a change… but you can definitely advise/motivate them!
The minimal activity guidelines indicate that one should participate in moderate to vigorous aerobic physical activities for an accumulation of at least 150 minutes per week, and muscle strengthening activities using major muscle groups at least twice a week. Do you know many men in your life that are meeting these requirements or exceeding them?
Here’s why it’s important…
To reduce one’s risk of developing one of these chronic conditions, we wanted to highlight the importance of regular exercise and lifestyle changes.
The Impact of Regular Exercise For Men
Regular exercise strengthens the heart, improves circulation, and helps manage weight and cholesterol levels to reduce the risk of heart disease. It can also reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, which are key factors in the progression of dementia. Exercise will stimulate the growth of new neurons and enhance the brain’s ability to form new connections. This will help to ensure you can cherish previous memories with your loved ones and continue to remember new ones! Lastly, exercise can lower the risk of certain cancers, including colorectal and prostate cancer. It can help regulate hormones and improve immune function.
Don’t wait for a health scare/wake up call…take action now! Men, your families need you. Your daughter needs you to walk her down the aisle on her wedding day. Your wife needs you more then ever when the kids move out to make lasting memories as a married couple, and your future grandkids want to meet their grandpa!
