Preventable Threats

Yes I do think about my overall health and my overall well being.
 
I am not sure how capable I am in preventing disease.  I try to do the best I can.  I could probably do a lot better though.

Members,

The article “Men’s health: Preventing your top 10 threats” (2009), by the Mayo staff clinic, reports that threats to men’s health are mostly preventable. Number one of the list is heart disease, and the list of suggestions includes not smoking, physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight and drinking in moderation. Number two is lung cancer, and of course, not smoking and using tobacco products, along with avoiding second smoke is recommended. In the other preventable threats, not smoking and exercising is a repeated suggestion.

Members, you’re all improving your life in some way, shape or form. Through your journey, have you considered your overall health? Is your overall well being important to you or are you content with focusing on the problem you are currently tackling.

Furthermore, how capable do you feel in preventing disease?
