Take it like a man!

Cowboys don't cry!

I heard a marine veteran once comment that "Marines don't cry", but his eye balls were "sweating up a storm" after a particular event.

When it comes to health, men seem to be reluctant to look after their health when it comes to nutrition. They are generally good about working out in the gym. Traditionally, a lot of men also work in jobs where physical labor keeps them active. As times have changed, unfortunately these active jobs are being replaced with machines and men are taking up more sedentary lifestyles and careers.

Bottom line, prevention is a whole lot cheaper and less painful than cure.

Men (and ladies), look after your health today, to prevent illness later on in life. You are never too young, or old, to start a good health journey.
