For Decades, Men Were Taught to Take Care of their Families About All Else
FOR DECADES, MEN WERE TAUGHT TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAMILIES ABOVE ALL ELSE.
THEY WERE ALSO TAUGHT A PECULIAR BRAND OF MASCULINITY:
✅ To be strong
✅ To hide their emotions (anger excepted)
✅ To lead
✅ To be confident
✅ To be tough
✅ To be in charge
And not to ask for help (ever), because it shows weakness.
Now let’s talk about what that means in terms of personal health.
Men tend to NOT engage in help-seeking behavior and downplay their physical and mental health symptoms. Obviously, unaddressed medical conditions will worsen over time if not treated.
Here’s the even more sobering news:
🛑 Chronic stress and unhealthy lifestyles are among the leading causes of morbidity and death.
🛑 All that stress, depression and anxiety, poor eating, and drinking goes straight to your heart, literally. Cardiovascular disease is the leading global cause of death, accounting for 17.3 million deaths per year, a number expected to grow to more than 23.6 million by 2030.
🛑 Heart disease is the number 1 killer of men. Other chronic conditions such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and high blood pressure are major contributors to illness and disability.
Let’s shift this paradigm. If men won’t do it for themselves, they should do it for those they love. Because taking care of you IS taking care of your family.
