WHO Issues Vital Health Guidelines for Adult Men
The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued vital health guidelines for adult men, focusing on sleep, exercise, nutrition, and stress management to prevent chronic diseases.
WHO advises limiting foods high in calories, sugar, salt, fat, and alcohol. Instead, men should consume a variety of fruits and vegetables daily for better protection against chronic diseases.
Insufficient sleep, linked to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, depression, and accidents, should be addressed. Adults should aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night.
Regular physical activity is crucial. Men should engage in at least 2.5 hours of moderate-intensity aerobic activity weekly, along with muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days. Quitting smoking, with immediate and long-term health benefits, is also strongly recommended.
Managing stress is vital. Seeking support, staying active, and avoiding drugs and alcohol are key strategies. Additionally, tracking and understanding personal health numbers, such as blood pressure and cholesterol, is essential for maintaining good health.
The WHO's recommendations emphasize the importance of balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, regular exercise, stress management, and regular health checks for adult men. By following these guidelines, men can significantly reduce their risk of chronic diseases and improve overall health.
