illnesses, as well as diseases like type 2 diabetes. The answer is simple: get an annual heart and diabetes check. If you are a male over 50, get a prostate test done each year too. Exercise regularly 3 Regular exercise can produce huge benefits for physical, mental and sexual health. Research shows that higher levels of physical activity can reduce cardiovascular disease, help fight depression, help prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes and improve sexual function. So take control of your health with as little as 30 minutes of daily exercise. Healthy eating 4 Eating well is important for both mental and physical health, so you need to know what foods to eat, in what quantities and what foods to avoid to minimise health risks. A balanced diet means eating a wide variety of healthy foods including plenty of vegetables, fruit and cereals (like bread, rice and pasta), some lean meat, chicken or fish, dairy products (milk, yoghurt, cheese) and plenty of water. It’s a good idea to avoid fatty foods and foods with lots of sugar in them. Healthy thinking 5 Depression affects one in eight men at any time. Most of us struggle with our dayto-day experiences, but the challenge facing men is to realise when they are becoming overwhelmed and knowing how to get help or when to ask for it. There are lots of services out there to help you. Recognising the symptoms of depression in yourself and others can be the first step to beating it. Symptoms include tiredness, irritability, sleep disturbance, and loss of interest in work or other activities. Other things to look out for as risk factors include family history of mental illness, excessive alcohol consumption, drug use, stress, unemployment and chronic illness. Stop smoking – it’s the only healthy 6 option Smoking causes more deaths every year in New Zealand than road crashes, suicide, skin cancers, drowning and homicide combined. It is no secret that if you are a smoker, it increases your risk of coronary heart disease, stroke and a range of cancers and other diseases. Quitting is the only healthy option. The body has an amazing ability to recover from the effects of smoking after you quit. After 24 hours the carbon monoxide in your blood will have dropped dramatically and all the nicotine will have been metabolised. Within a year of quitting the risk of coronary heart disease is halved and after 10-15 years of not smoking your risk of disease will be the same as those who have never smoked. menshealthweek.co.nz Our Friendly caring multicultural team are committed to a quality medical practice, offering a variety of GP services including areas of special interest: - Women’s health - Men’s health - Paediatrics - Travel medicine - Aviation medicine - Sports injuries - Chronic care incl. diabetes - Skin health and minor surgery DR KIRSHNI APPANNA • DR JEFFREY CHEN • DR MONALI DAROLE DR JULIA GIVEN • DR WARREN SMITH • DR MIKE WATSON K4980R Mandarin speaking Dr. available. 284 Peachgrove Road, Hamilton • 07 855 7824 • www.fivexrdsmc.co.nz INSPO – FITNESS JOURNAL JUNE 2017 23
