Men’s Health Tips!

Father’s day is a great time to celebrate dad and encourage the men in your life to follow healthier lifestyle habits…

• Start your engines: Get active and stay active! Choose an exercise or sport that you enjoy and can fit into your schedule.
• Fuel up: Eat plenty of whole grains. Studies show that those who trim calories and increase their whole-grain intake shed more belly fat and lower their levels of C-reactive protein (an inflammatory marker linked to heart attack and stroke).
• Change your oil: Switch from saturated animal fats to heart healthy unsaturated fats, especially monounsaturated fats such as olive oil and canola oil. Choose lean meats and low-fat dairy products, to minimize saturated fats.
• Avoid overheating: Drink plenty of water and limit alcoholic beverages to no more than two drinks per day.
• Maintenance: See your health care provider regularly to make sure you are in “mint” condition.
