Men 50 and over have a lot of opportunity ahead of them. The trick is to be healthy to enjoy them.

Older men often become more sedentary and neglect their health. Oftentimes, partners have to motivate them to get necessary screenings and make lifestyle changes to live longer.

Tips for Men in Middle Years

• Get to know what’s most important in your life. Work to enhance those relationships.
• Eat sensibly.
• Cut out vices like smoking and alcohol.
• Get a good night’s sleep.
• Learn to adapt as you age and your body’s skills decline in certain areas.

For partners, it’s ideal to be supportive and encourage longevity. However, you sometimes have to take control so the life-preserving actions can happen.
