When it comes to mens health, women tend to pay more attention than the men themselves. Men are more likely than women to:

Improving Mens Health
Many of the major health risks that men face can be prevented by following a healthy lifestyle. No surprises here: regular exercise, a healthy diet, not smoking, minimising stress, adequate sleep, and reducing or ceasing consumption of alcohol (not more than two drinks a day) and other substances. Getting regular health checks can help identify problems early, improving outcomes overall.
