EYE OPENING MALE STATISTICS

If you are a man, you might believe that you should hide your aches and pains so as not to appear soft, hold in your feelings so you won't seem overly emotional and keep going through it all and last forever. From the time you came into this world as a little boy, these are the images you've been fed--don't cry, don't care what others think, trust no one, take care of everyone else, be the vessel of someone's happiness, be a sexy Love God, and overzealous for success---no matter what it takes! And how does this Superman perception that most cultures readily accept and rarely question, effect a man's health and wellness? That's right, you listening and watching me right now, it does affect your health and wellness.

1. Did you realize that out of the top 10 killers, men die at higher rates than women from the top 10 causes of death and are the victims of over 92% of workplace deaths?

2. In 1920, women lived, on average, one year longer than men. Now, according to the CDC, men, on average, die almost six years earlier than women.

3. Do you hold in your feelings even when they are getting the best of you? Depression in men is undiagnosed, contributing to the fact that men are 4x as likely to commit suicide.

4. Who is the weaker sex? Do you think it matters most that you can run faster, lift more weights and bring home more bacon? Is this what you think makes you stronger? Well, according to the Men's Health Report, 115 males are conceived for every 100 females.

5. The male fetus is at greater risk of miscarriage and stillbirth.

6. 25% more newborn males die than females.

7. 3 out of 5 still infant death syndrome victims are boys.

8. Testosterone is linked to elevations of LDL, the bad cholesterol, and declines in HDL, the good cholesterol.

9. Men have fewer infection fighting T-cells and are thought to have weaker immune systems than women.

10. And by the age of 100, women outnumber men eight to one.

Why is this all the case? Because you are less likely to visit the doctor for preventive care. The stress that you experience on a daily basis has no communication outlet because you think that working out or exercising is sufficient...but yet, those suppressed emotions live active inside your body excreting toxins to your body constantly.

Prosper!

Here are Coach Lynn's Men's Success Tips for Living Longer and Aging Well

1. Use your legs for walking. They are meant to move you about and keep your blood flow balanced. WALK more even if it means up stairs and from the back of the parking lot instead of right in front of the door to the elevator.

2. Eat whole foods because your body processes them naturally. Your body will age faster trying to process food that is processed.

3. Drink a glass of red wine a day. Red wine not only is said to elevate your mood, but many cultures for centuries have practiced this wellness tip and lived long to tell about it.

4. Drink water and detoxify your core on a regular basis. Sneaky little toxins climb into your 6 pack abs and hide there, causing chronic illness, cancer and stroke. Your core is not only to look good fellas but it is a center of your health. So if you want to concentrate on one of your body parts heavily, make it your core! Aqua Chis are wonderful to schedule every three weeks, and you can simply eat prunes!

5. Take care of your skin. Old skin looks old. It won't make you a metro sexual if you have neat, well groomed skin. The best products are natural and your best accessory to whatever you wear every day is your skin.

6. Make time for love. It may seem extravagant, but studies old and new prove that men in love live longer. So, guys, it doesn't mean meet someone new every six months and fall in love all over again so you don't age. Chances are, if you keep breaking hearts, you may not live as long as you wish...So go for a great baseline of happiness that includes laughter, love, exercise and self care.

7. Don't take yourself so seriously...I know that you think you look sexy without expression. But to me, you just look like a person with no expression. Express yourself Baby! Give yourself a competitive edge on aging...Be young, feel young, think young, and don't be a fodily stuck in his old ways and mindset stick in the mud....

8. And if you just refuse to ask directions when you are lost but not lost, let me tell you...if you want to feel, look and perform as if you are forever young, it starts by knowing which way on the inside, first!

9. Stay positive. If you push forward in the aggressive style that you do, remember to push for the sake of progress, not simply for the sake of PUSHING.

Prosper!
