Men’s Health Online

Men’s health and nutrition statistics should be written into stone tablets and used to conk them a few times. In a sense these facts and stats are…they are written on hundreds of sites concerning men’s health, online. Now it is up to somebody to risk pushing them to at least read a few of the facts.
Clearly, their health is as important women’s, and men’s health online will surely confirm this, yet the general consensus has it that they too often neglect themselves, especially when they do not have someone to nudge them, nurture them, care for or care about them. Those devoted to men’s health online are a nudge. And for now, so am I. This article (as well as a number of other articles) will focus on men as they should be focused on—it will give them attention and will give attention to their health concerns in ways they might not care to do.
Sure, prioritization is something most of us are naturally good at. But since what we prioritize is just as important as how we do it, it must be noted that when anyone puts their own well-being last on the list, it might be the top-listed items and people that suffer. Men’s health though online sites is trying to undo this likelihood, but working to make ends meet, working to support a family, entertaining and dedicating time to family and friends, and then working some more…is what most men choose, thereby challenging the probabilities that these activities might eventually negatively contribute to the need for a man to at some point cry out that he needs time to himself.
One activity is all we are asking. To check out men’s health online. Even check out sexuality sites—where some spice is included in the salt. Then, his health in tact would ensure he can go on entertaining, providing, nurturing, and partying. His health in tact could mean he will not suffer and will not have to share his suffering by being (begrudgingly) dependent upon others because he neglected his health, failed to even glance at the men’s health online bookmarks you cordoned off for him and now is helpless.
For instance, the number of areas covered as the topics of men’s health online is a number that includes those areas that should get attention…from him--weight, liver, vision, teeth, heart, prostrate, bone joints and muscles, sexual equipment, stomach--but are, however, neglected. Is it because men feel selfish if they take time out to attend regularly scheduled appointments? Is it because men get wrapped up in enjoying or consumed by doing the twelve hundred other daily duties that the last thing they would remember is a dental cleaning or a blood pressure check?
Men’s health and nutrition studies, many which can be found online, uncover the risks, the same ones that are revealed—in general terms—in the statistics: men are four times less likely to see a doctor than women. This is according to Dr. Hilary Jones at netdoctor.co.uk. At the same time, however, 45% of all men are overweight, and one third of them are termed clinically obese; 8.7 million men over 20 in the US alone have Diabetes (according the ADA); one million males have eating disorders (inch-aweigh.com); and in 1998, a UK research company determined that 38% of 16 to 24 year olds had a high fat intake, while 22% between 55 and 64 did as well (statistics.gov.uk). Moreover, 7 out of 8 carry at least one risk toward heart disease and/or stroke; and of all men with high blood pressure, only 25% use a medication to control it.
So it is shame? Control? Or is it the invincibility syndrome at any age that takes over and prevents men from preventing such health problems, illness, disorders, and diseases as hypertension, peptic ulcer, heart attack, cancer…. I will ask this again, in the next ten articles, hoping to get a response. Or at least get my men friends who are online playing Massive Solitaire Pileup or Extreme Surferboy twenty hours a day to go for their first ever checkup.
