Walking is often viewed as a casual form of exercise, but it also can be your primary form of moderate-intensity exercise if you increase the intensity, duration, and frequency of your workouts. You can adopt several types of workouts to help increase pace and endurance, such as intervals, timed walks, and pole walking. Wearing appropriate walking shoes and improving their walking mechanics also can improve walking speed and endurance.
Light therapy uses light boxes that emit a bright, white light. Exposure to this light can control a person’s circadian rhythm—the body’s internal 24-hour sleep-wake clock—and help manage and prevent seasonal affective disorder.
People have a 50% chance of developing at least one mental health disorder by age 75, according to some research. Among men, the most common are alcohol use disorder, depression, and anxiety disorders, with social anxiety disorder being the most prevalent of those. Many men miss the early warning signs of these disorders, or when they do, they often try to push through, which can worsen the symptoms. But identifying when they might have a problem is the first step toward seeking help.
Chronic pelvic pain—medically known as chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome, or CP/CPPS—is one of the more common and challenging conditions older men face. Because the underlying cause may not be identified, doctors often take a trial-and-error approach to managing the common symptoms like throbbing, aching pain, urination problems, and sexual dysfunction. Options include different types of medication, physiotherapy, shock wave therapy, and aerobic exercise.
People can adopt several strategies to keep their kidneys healthy, such as managing blood pressure, controlling blood sugar levels, watching salt intake, avoiding alcohol, staying hydrated, and exercising regularly.
Men often carry around extra belly fat and lose muscle mass as they age. An expanding waist could be sign of too much visceral fat, which is stored within the abdominal cavity and surrounds vital organs, including the pancreas, liver, and intestines. Research has shown that visceral fat can increase blood pressure, blood sugar, and total cholesterol levels, and raise the risk of fatty liver disease. Building muscle mass with resistance training and getting aerobic exercise improve muscle metabolism and help reduce visceral fat.
