“A man’s health can be measured by taking two at once – tablets or stairs.” – Joan Welsh, American politician

Proverbs that speak of men and health have been around for a long time, but still not enough is said. Since most men are not comfortable discussing their health issues with people, we need an entire month dedicated to men’s health awareness – June, with an official symbol of a blue ribbon. Celebs talk about health and fitness.

Avoid the cell phone

I firmly believe in the saying – “Actions speak louder than words”. If we were ready to give up our phones, then children will follow. I think cell phones not only cause us physical discomfort, they also take up a lot of time that can be used for good physical activity.

Say yes to: find enough time to exercise.

Not: say no to drugs.

Can-do challenge: pandemic or no pandemic, breathing exercises, even five minutes a day, will help you go a long way.

– Kartar Cheema, actor

Act humanely

“Man, you cannot afford to be weak” – the male sex is often exposed to this from birth. Love but earn a living, care but not cry, grow but not give up. Basically, it’s all inhuman. This puts a lot of pressure on a man – the basic need to be strong! Do what humans should do.

Say yes to: changing the social or traditional roles we’ve been following for ages. Be open to change.

Don’t: Follow the old social norms blindly. Bring change with you, even if it means giving up benefits we enjoy.

Can-do challenge: Have a health check-up for everyone

six months.

– Gagan Anand, actor

Cancel conventionally

There is a stereotype for men that they keep things to themselves even if it puts their health at risk. I think it is high time we understood the difference between being conventional and following some rules just because society wants us to. Taking care of our health should be our number one priority. Most Indian middle class families want their children to focus more on studying than on their physical fitness, which is wrong.

Say yes to: A basic exercise routine. This leads to a positive and healthy body image. Since the day I started exercising regularly, I’ve seen many positive changes in my body.

Not: Suppress health problems, however small they may seem. If necessary, see a doctor.

Can-do challenge: Try to get up early at the same time each day, even if you are not doing anything. Sooner or later you will start adding those extra hours to your health.

– Akash Jagga, actor

Pranit Shilimkar

Pay attention

Pranit Shilimkar, health and fitness entrepreneur, digital content creator and fitness talk founder, believes that your current lifestyle will play a huge role in how your future will be affected. He says, “Many health problems in men appear in the later stages of life, but we tend to ignore the warning signs. Take care of your physical and mental health. “

Say yes: physical fitness and good nutrition are mutually dependent. Eat well and exercise well.

Don’t: Be swayed by short-term fitness goals.

Can-do challenge: start with three home exercises – pushups, squats, suryanamascar and end a negative habit – smoking / drinking / binge eating. Do this for 25 days, watch the results, and say thank you.
