1.Check yourself
Did you know that 4 out of 10 cancers can be prevented by having a healthier lifestyle and avoiding risk factors? And here’s more good news - there are a number of simple and practical steps that every man can take to reduce their cancer risk
2. Hazardous Waist
The amount of weight you carry around your middle can affect your hormones, immune system and increase your risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. Measuring your waist is a good way to check your fat distribution. For men, a waist circumference below 37’’/94cm is considered to be low risk. However, there are ethnic differences in this cut-off point.
3.All clogged up
One of the best ways to prevent strokes or heart attacks is to keep your cholesterol at a healthy level. Cholesterol is a type of fat in your blood. Too much LDL ('bad')
cholesterol can be harmful. It sticks to the inside of your arteries and makes it harder for blood to flow through them. For most people, the ‘Total Cholesterol’ measurement
should be no more than 5.
4.Take a break
Sleep is important for both your physical and your mental health. It helps to reset and
recharge your brain and your body. Generally, adult men need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep a night, while boys need more. The ideal amount is around 8 hours
5.Get it on

6.What a bloody situation
Normal blood pressure is 120 / 80. However, raised blood pressure (hypertension) can contribute to a range of health issues including heart attacks and strokes. It is
sometimes called the ‘silent killer’ because there are often few signs that something is wrong - until it is.
