Learn about steps men can take each day to improve health. Get Good Sleep: Adults need between 7-9 hours of sleep. Insufficient sleep is associated with a number of chronic diseases and conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and depression. Toss out the Tobacco: It’s never too late to quit. Quitting smoking has immediate and long-term benefits. It improves your health and lowers your risk of heart disease, cancer, lung disease, and other smoking-related illnesses. Also avoid secondhand smoke. Move More: Adults need at least 2½ hours of moderate-intensity aerobic activity every week, and muscle strengthening activities that work all major muscle groups. You don't have to do it all at once. Spread your activity out during the week, and break it into smaller amounts of time during the day. Eat Healthy: Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables every day. Limit foods and drinks high in calories, sugar, salt, fat, and alcohol. Tame Stress: Take care of yourself. However, it can be harmful when it is severe enough to make you feel overwhelmed and out of control Avoid drugs and alcohol. Find support. Connect socially. Stay active. Stay on Top of Your Game: See your doctor or nurse for checkups. Pay attention to signs and symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, excessive thirst, and problems with urination. Keep track of your numbers for blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol, body mass index (BMI), or any others you may have. Get vaccinated. Everyone needs immunizations to stay healthy, no matter how old you are For more information, please visit https://www.cdc.gov/men/nmhw/index.htm
