If a man leads an active lifestyle and does heavy sports, his joints and circulatory system suffer. In men after 30 years, the risk of a heart attack increases significantly. Those who do not exercise and lead a sedentary lifestyle, eating unhealthy food, have an increased risk of developing obesity, which also negatively affects the functioning of the heart and blood vessels.

At a young age, you need to be regularly checked for sexually transmitted diseases. Many disorders in the sexual sphere are asymptomatic for a long time: for example, azoospermia is detected only during unsuccessful attempts to have a child. In addition, all people are exposed to the same risks of oncology, injuries and age-related changes in the nervous system.

Remember that most diseases are successfully treated in the initial stages, and it is important not to miss them and have time to detect them before the first complications.
