Let’s be honest with ourselves for a moment.
How many men can comfortably eat tomatoes, watermelon, carrots, cucumber or eggs regularly?
Now, how many will say, “I don’t have money for those things”?
Yet somehow, there is money for beer every weekend. Sometimes every day.
There is money for ci******es, late-night drinking, oversized portions and a lifestyle that slowly damages the body. But when it comes to simple foods that provide vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants, suddenly, “things are expensive.”
Think about that.
Tomatoes contain lycopene, an antioxidant that has been studied for its potential relationship with prostate health. Watermelon also contains lycopene, while carrots and cucumbers provide useful nutrients as part of a balanced diet.
This doesn't mean eating tomatoes or watermelon can guarantee that you will prevent prostate disease. Your overall diet, weight, physical activity, age, family history and other health factors matter too.
And then there is exercise.
Some men are barely 20 and already carrying significant belly fat. No regular exercise. Long hours sitting down. Alcohol. Poor diet.
Then they say:
“I want to live to 80.”
Brother, what are you doing today to give your body a chance to get there?
Nobody is saying you need an expensive diet. Sometimes, healthier choices are much simpler than we make them.
Eat the tomato.
Eat the watermelon.
Add vegetables to your meals.
Choose eggs when you can.
Drink more water.
Move your body.
Reduce excessive alcohol.
And stop waiting until your body starts complaining before you start taking care of it.
Your health is not something you should only remember when you become sick.
So, gentlemen, let's talk:
What is one healthy food you can afford to add to your diet this week — and what unhealthy habit are you willing to reduce?
Your future self may thank you for the choices you make today.
