For men, a healthy heart is a vital part of maintaining overall physical, mental and emotional wellness; however, with modern-day conveniences, stress and poor lifestyle habits, it's easy for men to slowly damage their hearts and overall health.
The following statistics highlight how important it is for men to maintain their heart health:
- Heart disease causes about 1 in 4 male deaths in the U.S. every year.
- Most men will experience their first heart attack around the age of 65.
- About 80 percent of all cases of heart failure occur in men.
The good news is that with a few lifestyle changes and the right medical supervision, men can improve their heart health sooner than they think!
