The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/fastats\/obesity-overweight.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CDC<\/a>) says that nearly <strong>74% of adults in the United States are overweight or obese<\/strong>, putting them at risk of chronic diseases and their risk factors.<\/p>\n<p>Aim to keep your waist circumference <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/healthyweight\/assessing\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>less than 41 inches<\/strong><\/a> if possible, as doing so minimizes your chance of developing chronic diseases.<\/p>\n<p>One reason the risk of obesity increases over 40 is because of changes in body composition (muscle-to-fat ratio), as well as reductions in metabolism. However, you can still maintain a healthy weight and stay disease-free with the right health tips for men over 40 in place!<\/p>\n<h3>Low Testosterone\/ED<\/h3>\n<p>Low testosterone (male hormone) is common among aging men, especially those over 40. Your body naturally produces lower levels of testosterone with age, which can contribute to unpleasant side effects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Low T can lead to thinning hair, low muscle mass, weight gain, increased body fat, and sexual dysfunction, and it can also affect your mood and make you feel tired.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are several things you can do to keep testosterone levels as high as possible over 40 and beyond. Eat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitfatherproject.com\/testosterone-boosting-foods\/?utm_source=blog-post&utm_medium=text-link&utm_term=health-tips-for-men-over-40&utm_content=&utm_campaign=ff30x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">testosterone-boosting foods<\/a>, take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitfatherproject.com\/testosterone-boosting-supplements\/?utm_source=blog-post&utm_medium=text-link&utm_term=health-tips-for-men-over-40&utm_content=&utm_campaign=ff30x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">testosterone-boosting supplements<\/a>, maintain a healthy weight, and get regular exercise.<\/p>\n<p>See your doctor periodically to have your hormone levels checked. They may suggest you try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitfatherproject.com\/testosterone-booster\/?utm_source=blog-post&utm_medium=text-link&utm_term=health-tips-for-men-over-40&utm_content=&utm_campaign=ff30x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">testosterone therapy<\/a>, such as shots, patches, gels, or pellets.

There are numerous reasons men over 40 are at risk of osteoporosis and low bone density.<\/p>\n<p>Testosterone decline that occurs with aging in men is a risk factor, as well as <strong>not participating in enough bone-strengthening exercises<\/strong> (running, jumping, walking, etc.) over the course of your lifespan or <strong>consuming too little calcium and vitamin D<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Arthritis<\/h3>\n<p>Arthritis is common among men, especially those over 40. While rheumatoid arthritis is more common among women, gout, a form of arthritis that often affects your toe joints, occurs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/arthritis\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20350772\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more often<\/a> in men.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>family history of arthritis is the main risk factor for developing it<\/strong>, but living a healthy lifestyle reduces your risk of getting arthritis or lessens your symptoms.<\/p>\n<h3>Prostate Cancer<\/h3>\n<p>Cancer is a common chronic disease among men, especially those over 40. Prostate cancer is especially concerning for men, which is why routine prostate cancer screening (if you're at risk) is important.<\/p>\n<p>See your doctor annually to screen for common cancers, including prostate cancer, as early detection and treatment is the best way to beat the disease.<\/p>\n<p>Signs and symptoms of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/prostate-cancer\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20353087\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prostate cancer<\/a> include <strong>trouble urinating, decreased urine stream force, blood in the semen, blood in urine, bone pain, erectile dysfunction, and unintentional weight loss<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Skin Cancer<\/h3>\n<p>Skin cancer is another common cancer among men and women. Do skin checks regularly to detect cancerous tissue before it spreads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have your doctor evaluate moles or skin abnormalities that change in color, size, shape, or overall appearance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When detected early, your provider can safely remove cancer cells without complications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Protect your skin from the sun by using sunscreen or wearing sunglasses or hats.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>High Cholesterol<\/h3>\n<p>High cholesterol is a common heart disease risk factor among men over 40 and beyond. Your risk of developing high cholesterol often increases with age and family history of high cholesterol.<\/p>\n<p>Other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/high-blood-cholesterol\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20350800\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">risk factors<\/a> include <strong>poor dietary habits, exercise, smoking, excessive alcohol, and obesity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Ways to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitfatherproject.com\/foods-to-lower-cholesterol\/?utm_source=blog-post&utm_medium=text-link&utm_term=health-tips-for-men-over-40&utm_content=&utm_campaign=ff30x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reduce high cholesterol naturally<\/a><\/strong> include eating fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds.

Avoid excessive alcohol consumption and smoking.<\/p>\n<h3>Diabetes<\/h3>\n<p>Diabetes is another common disease among men and women in the United States, affecting about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/diabetes\/basics\/type2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1 in 10<\/a> adults. Your risk of developing diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, increases <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/diabetes\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20371444\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">over 40<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Uncontrolled diabetes boosts your chance of complications like organ damage, heart problems, nerve damage, eye problems, Alzheimer's disease, and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eating nutritious foods, getting regular exercise, and maintaining an ideal weight are ways to lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes often develops during childhood.<\/p>\n<p>If you do have diabetes, properly managing blood sugar lowers the risk of complications.

Anxiety often accompanies depression.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Both of these mental health disorders boost your risk of physical aches and pains, relationship struggles, problems at work, weight gain or weight loss, and substance abuse.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you struggle with constant sadness, worry, or fear, adopt healthy habits and see your doctor for an evaluation and treatment if necessary. They can prescribe medications, recommend transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), or suggest you attend counseling sessions to work through challenges, reduce symptoms, and have a better quality of life.<\/p>\n<h3>Gum Disease<\/h3>\n<p>Gum disease affects a lot of men over 40, as it occurs in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/oralhealth\/conditions\/periodontal-disease.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nearly half<\/a> of adults age 30 and older and more than 70% of those age 65 and older.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Symptoms of gum disease include receding gum lines, bleeding gums, loose permanent teeth, bad breath, jaw bone loss, and permanent tooth loss.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gum disease is associated with heart problems, as people with gum disease are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/heart-health\/gum-disease-and-heart-disease-the-common-thread\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2-3 times<\/a> more likely to have a stroke, heart attack, or other heart issues.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to reduce the risk of gum disease is to brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste after meals, floss daily, and see your dentist every six months (or more often in some cases) for dental cleanings. Limit sugary drinks and sweets in favor of nutritious whole foods.<\/p>\n<p>Detecting and treating gum disease early is the best way to prevent complications, so see your dentist at the first sign of a problem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Learn how dental and oral health affects your heart health and overall health!<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-responsive\"><iframe src=\" https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oqRaP3kglIw?modestbranding=1&autohide=1&showinfo=0&controls=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>10 Health Tips for Men Over 40<\/h2>\n<p>Follow the health tips for men over 40 below to maintain exceptional health and wellness, while reducing the risk of chronic diseases and their side effects:<\/p>\n<h3>Boost Fiber and Plant Foods<\/h3>\n<p>Plant-based foods are loaded with satiating fiber, vitamins, and minerals!

It's the best way to detect and get treated for diseases or their risk factors before serious complications arise.<\/p>\n<p>Schedule routine physical exams every year or more often if your doctor recommends it, and ask if you're due for prostate or colon cancer screening.<\/p>\n<p>They can prescribe medications if needed or refer you to a medical specialist for complex medical problems.

disease and other oral health problems, see your dentist at least every six months for routine dental cleanings and exams.<\/p>\n<p>Practice good oral hygiene habits at home by brushing your teeth after meals, flossing daily, and using antiseptic mouthwash if your dentist recommends it.<\/p>\n<h3>Focus on Your Mental Health<\/h3>\n<p>Your mental health is just as important as your physical health and your overall well-being.<\/p>\n<p>If you struggle with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention-deficit disorder (ADD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or substance abuse disorder, see a psychologist to get the treatment you need to live your best life.<\/p>\n<h3>Keep Your Body Moving<\/h3>\n<p>Move your body often throughout the day
