June marks National Men’s Health Month, a time to encourage men to take care of their bodies through exercise, healthy eating, and disease prevention. Here are five easy tips to help men improve their health and well-being:
Improve Your Diet
Add more vegetables, leafy greens, nuts, and berries to your meals to support brain health and increase fiber. Include lean proteins like salmon and turkey to meet your daily protein needs.
Set Realistic Goals
Decide what you want to achieve-whether it’s losing weight, building muscle, or eating more veggies. Set small, achievable goals and consider consulting a doctor or dietitian to help you stay on track.
Get Moving
Physical activity is key to good health. Start with simple steps like walking around the block. It’s okay to begin slowly and build up a routine that fits your lifestyle.
Know Your Health Numbers
Learn about common men’s health issues and keep track of important numbers like blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar. Regular doctor visits can help monitor these and catch problems early.
Take Care of Your Mental Health
Don’t hesitate to talk to a doctor or mental health professional if you’re feeling stressed or down. Mental health is just as important as physical health.
Bonus: Healthy Foods to Add to Your Diet
- Fresh fruits and vegetables, especially berries
- Whole grains like brown rice and whole-grain bread
- Beans and leafy greens for fiber and plant protein
- Lean meats such as skinless chicken and lean beef
- Fatty fish like salmon, sardines, and tuna for omega-3s

Taking care of your health now can improve your life for years to come. Use Men’s Health Month as a reminder to invest in yourself and make smart choices for a healthier future.
