men get them on their backs, where they can’t see them. Get Him to the Doctor It’s critical to get your husband (and son) into the habit of regular medical check-ups. Changes over time are key in assessing health. Encourage him to make his own appointments, but if he won’t, do it yourself. Doctors I have interviewed tell me that at least 25% of appointments for male patients are made by women.
Be Patient The goal here is to get your husband to take better care of himself, and to get your son to start building good habits. These things take time. But with each small change, you’ll improve the quality and increase the length of the life you have with the men you love. June is Men’s Health Month. For more info visit www.menshealthnetwork.org
Promote a Healthy Lifestyle The three most effective things you can do are to put your husband on a low-fat, high-fiber diet, help him get regular exercise, and get him to quit smoking. These steps can drastically reduce the chances that he’ll succumb to the leading causes of death: heart and pulmonary diseases, cancer, stroke, and diabetes.
