Tips to improve your health

Stress, harmful habits, genetic burden, seasonal viruses ... Both the health of men and women are directly affected by their lifestyle and  food choices. A healthy diet combined with physical activity is considered the safest and most reliable long-term way to reduce the risk of diseases and to reach or maintain an optimal weight and a beautiful vision. On the other hand an unhealthy lifestyle can affect your overall well-being, mental, physical and reproductive health.

Advice for both men and women

• Maintain a normal waistline and watch out for excess weight
• Maintain a healthy, balanced diet containing low-calorie foods
• Take enough water
• Make morning exercise a daily priority
• Limit or quit smoking, as well as the use of alcoholic, energy and carbonated drinks
• Take the time to screen for STI and STD that are often asymptomatic and can lead to various complications
• Get tested for colon cancer, known as the "silent " disease with no obvious symptoms 

Advice for women

• Take women’s and fertility vitamin supplementation seriously
• Visit a gynecologist regularly
• After the 40th anniversary, do not miss the screening mammogram, which is essential for the early diagnosis of breast cancer
• Get Pap smear tests as often as your gynecologist advises

Tips for men

• Take regular Men's Health and Fitness vitamins, minerals and nutritional supplements to meet your daily nutrient needs
• See a urologist regularly
• Get your prostate checked
• Get a mammogram because  breast cancer is possible in men too

If you follow these tips, you can protect yourself from most health problems such as stroke, heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, liver disease and diabetes. Your best weapon and chance for a long and healthy life is nutrition, exercise and regular doctor visits.
