Getting on Track
HEALTHY LIVING FOR MEN
Take a minute to think about your weight, health, and lifestyle. Are you as fit and healthy as you would like to be? Do you think you might be carrying a little too much weight or body fat?
You can get on track with regular physical activity and healthy eating habits. By making small changes to your lifestyle, you may become leaner and more energetic.
Keep reading for tips on how to get on track with healthy habits—chances are, you will find that it is not as hard as you thought.
Take Steps to Good Health
1. Be physically active and make healthy food choices.
2. Get to a healthy weight and stay there. Balance the calories you take in from food and drink with the calories you burn off by your activities.
3.. Be tobacco free.
4. If you drink alcohol, have no more than two drinks per day if you are 65 or younger. If you are older than 65, have no more than one drink a day. A standard drink is one 12-ounce bottle of beer or wine cooler, one 5-ounce glass of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits.
Colorectal Cancer. Have a screening test for colorectal cancer. Several different tests—for example, a stool blood test and colonoscopy—can detect this cancer. Your health care team can help you decide which is best for you.
Depression. Your emotional health is as important as your physical health. Talk to your health care team about being screened for depression especially if during the last 2 weeks:
1. You have felt down, sad, or hopeless.
2. You have felt little interest or pleasure in doing things.
Diabetes. Get screened for diabetes if your blood pressure is higher than 135/80 or if you take medication for high blood pressure. Diabetes (high blood sugar) can cause problems with your heart, brain, eyes, feet, kidneys, nerves, and other body parts.
High Blood Pressure. Have your blood pressure checked at least every 2 years. High blood pressure is 140/90 or higher. High blood pressure can cause strokes, heart attacks, kidney and eye problems, and heart failure.
High Cholesterol. High cholesterol increases your chance of heart disease, stroke, and poor circulation. Have your cholesterol checked regularly.
WHAT IS A HEALTHY WEIGHT?
Body mass index (BMI) is a tool that is often used to determine if a person is a healthy weight, overweight, or obese, and whether a person’s health is at risk due to his or her weight. BMI is a ratio of your weight to your height. You can refer to the chart on the next page to find your BMI and see what a healthy weight range is for your height.
A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered healthy. A person with a BMI of 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight, and a person with a BMI of 30 or more is considered obese.
Another way to determine if your health is at risk because of your weight is to measure your waist. Waist measurement does not tell if you are overweight, but it does show if you have excess fat in your stomach. You should know that extra fat around your waist may raise your health risks even more than fat elsewhere on your body. Also, men are more likely than women to carry their extra weight around their stomach.
Men whose waists measure more than 40 inches may be at an increased risk for diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, and other problems.
A downside of using BMI is that it does not take into account whether body weight is due to muscle or fat. Therefore, someone who is very muscular may be thought to have excess fat, even if he has low or normal body fat. For the vast majority of Americans, though, BMI is a good way to tell if you have increased health risks due to your weight.
WHY DO WEIGHT AND LIFESTYLE MATTER?
Being overweight, obese, or physically inactive may increase your risk for:
••coronary heart disease
••type 2 diabetes
••high blood pressure
••stroke
••some types of cancer, including colorectal and kidney cancer
On the other hand, being active, eating healthier, and achieving and staying at a healthy weight may help:
••Improve mood and energy levels.
••Increase fitness and strength.
••Improve muscles
GETTING FIT
Pick an activity that you enjoy and will do. This activity should get your heart and breathing rates up, but is not so tiring that you cannot talk while doing it.
TYPES OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Moderate Intensity
••brisk walking
••weight training
••recreational swimming
Vigorous Intensity
••jogging
••fast-paced sports, like football
TIPS FOR GETTING FIT
••Start with a level of activity that feels doable and gradually increase the frequency, time, and intensity of your exercise. You might begin with 10 minutes of daily activity for the first week, for example, and then increase your time to 15 minutes a day the next week.
••Work up to an amount of activity that allows you to reach your goal. It may be 45 minutes a day or it may be 90 minutes a day.
••Activities like chores, walking up stairs, and playing outside with the kids count too.
••Remember, you do not have to do 30 minutes of exercise all at once to be healthy. Instead, you can take three 10-minute walks throughout the day.
EXERCISE YOUR OPTIONS
To get on track and stay on track, you should try different types of exercises and activities. The chart below lists several types of physical activity, provides examples of each, and describes how each activity is good for you.
ACTIVITY
EXAMPLES
POTENTIAL BENEFITS
Aerobic Exercise
Walking, jogging, swimming, biking
Improves fitness, burns calories, aids in weight loss, improves mental well-being
Strength Training
Weight machines, free weights, crunches, push-ups
Improves strength, increases muscle size, burns calories, aids in weight loss
Flexibility/ Stretching
Traditional stretching, yoga, Tai Chi
Reduces injury risk, improves blood flow, helps recovery from muscle soreness
Sports
Basketball, racquetball, tennis, golf (if you walk the course)
Improves fitness, strength, and coordination; burns calories; adds variety
Lifestyle Activities
Washing the car, taking the stairs, mowing the lawn
Burns some calories and reduces health risks
A HEALTHY EATING PLAN = A VARIETY OF FOODS
••whole grains
••vegetables
••fruits
••lean meats and seafood
••low-fat or fat-free milk products
EATING SMART
••Eating smart may improve your health and your waistline.
••You can also improve your eating habits by adjusting portion sizes and still enjoy delicious foods and an occasional treat.
EASY TIPS FOR EATING SMART
••Sneak in fruits and vegetables. Add berries to your cereal or crunchy vegetables to your sandwich.
••Be aware of what you drink as well as what you eat. Sodas, sports drinks, and juices may be high in caffeine or calories, especially from sugar.
Do not overdo it with alcohol. Alcohol can be a major source of hidden calories. A single shot of liquor, about 2 ounces, has about 125 calories. A 5-ounce glass of wine or a 12-ounce glass of beer has 160 calories.
KEEPING PORTIONS UNDER CONTROL
In addition to what you eat, how much you eat also affects your weight. The pictures on the next page give you an idea of what portion sizes look like for some foods. Try to “eyeball” your portion sizes using everyday objects—it may help you control how many calories you consume.

Niacin-No Flush (400 mg) Safe and Effective Vitamin B3 Does not cause the flush commonly associated with niacin use. Is derived from the finest inositol hexanicotinate available. Is important for maintaining cardiovascular health. BENEFITS: The Benefits of Niacin without the Typical Flush Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, is one of the B-complex group of vitamins. It plays an important role in the conversion of carbohydrates, fats, and protein to energy. It is also involved in the synthesis of male and female sex hormones. Niacin promotes healthy skin and efficient functioning of the nervous and digestive systems. It has also been demonstrated to improve mental alertness due to its ability to enhance microcirculation. Various studies have demonstrated that this vitamin, in its niacin form, reduces cholesterol and triglycerides. Therefore, it is of assistance in the prevention of heart disease. Diabetes and multiple sclerosis may also improve under a regime of niacin supplementation. Further studies are needed before specific health benefits can be determined. Niacin also acts as a detoxifier, assisting the body to rid itself of toxins, pollutants, organic poisons, certain insecticides and drug residues. Vitamin B3 works best in conjunction with vitamins B1, B2, and C; and is usually taken together as a B-complex source. Niacin is safe to use at recommended dosages (usually 100 mg daily); those taking the supplement at higher dosages should do so under the direction of a physician. Many people cannot tolerate niacin because of the flush associated with it. The flush normally consists of red itchy skin after each dose; this experience can be very unpleasant. No-flush niacin (inositol hexanicotinate) is very similar to nicotinic acid, and studies indicate that it is just as effective without causing a flush. Label Information and Ingredients: Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, adults take one (1) capsule, one (1) to two (2) times daily with meals, or as directed by a health care professional.
