During Men’s Health Month, one of the most important areas to focus on is your heart. Heart disease is the #1 killer of men in the U.S., but with the right habits, it’s largely preventable.
Why It Matters
Many men don’t realize they have heart issues until a major event like a heart attack. Risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and stress often show no symptoms—making regular check-ups essential.
Simple Ways to Protect Your Heart:
- Know Your Numbers: Blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose levels are key indicators of heart health.
- Eat for Your Heart: Focus on lean proteins, leafy greens, fruits, and whole grains. Cut back on sodium, processed foods, and added sugars.
- Stay Active: Just 30 minutes of walking or moderate exercise most days can improve your heart function.
- Don’t Skip Sleep: Quality sleep helps regulate blood pressure and reduces heart strain.
- Manage Stress: Chronic stress puts added pressure on your heart. Deep breathing, mindfulness, or even talking to someone can help.
- Avoid Tobacco: Smoking significantly increases your risk of heart disease—and quitting makes a big difference, no matter your age.
