Male Health

Don't smoke If you smoke or use other tobacco products, ask your doctor to help you quit smoking. Avoid exposure to secondhand smoke, air pollution, and chemicals, such as those found in the workplace. Eat a healthy diet. Choose vegetables, fruits, whole grains, high-fiber foods, and lean sources of protein, such as fish. Limit foods rich in saturated and trans fats, and foods with added sugar and sodium. Keep a healthy weight. Losing excess pounds, and not gaining them, can reduce the risk of heart disease and various types of cancer. Move. Exercise can help you control your weight, reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke, and possibly lower your risk of certain types of cancer. Choose activities you enjoy, such as tennis, basketball, or brisk walking. All physical activity benefits your health. Limit alcohol. If you choose to drink alcohol, do so only in moderation. That means up to two drinks a day if you're 65 or younger and one drink a day if you're 65 or older. Examples of a drink include 12 fluid ounces (355 milliliters) of beer, 5 fluid ounces (148 milliliters) of wine, or 1.5 fluid ounces (44 milliliters) of 80-proof standard liquor. The risk of various types of cancer, such as Liver cancer appears to increase with the amount of alcohol you drink and the time you have been drinking regularly. Too much alcohol can also raise blood pressure and increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.
