Making Time for Men’s Health
Staying active, eating nutritious foods, and getting plenty of rest can help to live a healthy lifestyle. It is also important for men to make time for routine and preventive care to stay healthy and help detect and treat diseases early. According to a survey conducted for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost 15% of men are in fair or poor physical health (1). For some men, this may be due to lifestyle behaviors and a tendency to avoid medical care.
The New Work-Life Balance
Whether working at home, returning to an office or job site, or somewhere in between, the professional environment is continually evolving. When the line between career and home life becomes blurred, some people may find themselves working in lieu of taking a lunch break or into the evening. For some, working longer hours can become a normal daily routine—even something to take pride in. Allowing work to intersect with personal time may be unsustainable and start to cause stress which can have a negative impact on mood, resiliency, and mental wellness.
