That’s right. You don’t take care of yourself -- and you know it. In fact, we know it too, and so does your wife, your girlfriend, your boyfriend, your mom, your sister...well, pretty much everyone around you knows it too.
It’s no wonder women live longer, healthier lives than men.
In the US, the current life expectancy is 81 years for women and only 76 years for men. However, if you take a look at other countries across the globe, the life expectancy gap between genders is minimal. So guess what: The difference in life expectancy between men and women is not a purely biological phenomenon -- in the US, it has become more of a social phenomenon than anything.
Men: Start taking care of yourselves.
When it comes down to it, men are susceptible to their own “man-made diseases,” a.k.a. Men, you typically engage in much less self-care than women do, and you are much more likely to engage in unhealthy behaviors than women are.
We know you don’t take proper care of yourself -- you make excuses, and you aren’t fully to blame. US culture has associated masculinity with toughness, but wouldn’t you agree that when it’s all said and done, toughness lies in being tough enough to withstand the durability of life? That toughness lies in defeating disease, prolonging your life, and conquering time by extending your life beyond measure? You are hard enough on your body as it is -- it’s time to be proactive to make sure you can keep your body tough and durable for years to come.
Men: Regain your energy through self-care.
Women live longer because they take that extra step in self care. Women live longer because on average, they take much better care of themselves than you do. They prioritize their health, and they preserve their youthfulness through self-care rituals. Don’t you want to live a longer, stronger, more youthful life too?
Maybe if you start taking care of yourself, you will start to feel like you did when you were younger -- remember that energy you had in your 20’s? Remember your youthful strength, your lack of chronic pain? It’s time you start taking proactive steps to properly fuel your body. With better health comes lower stress levels, higher energy levels and increased productivity. Not only can your life be longer, it can be fuller and more accomplished too.
