"A national survey byCleveland Clinic, published in September 2023, highlights a disconnect betweenmen’s perception of their health and their actual health habits. According tothe survey, 81% of American men believe they lead a healthy lifestyle. However,the survey results reveal that the habits and behaviors of many men tell adifferent story. Almost half of men (44%) do not get a yearly physical, 44% donot take care of their mental health, and only half of men said they keep ahealthy diet (51%). Additionally, 83% have experienced stress in the last sixmonths, and about a quarter of U.S. men (27%) watch TV for more than five hoursper day on average.

The survey, which wasconducted earlier last year and involved a national sample of 1,000 U.S. malesaged 18 and older, was issued as part of Cleveland Clinic’s eighth annualeducational campaign, MENtion It®. The campaign aims to address the fact that menoften do not mention health issues or take steps to prevent them. Surveyfindings point to stress being a common factor among men. However, 65% of mensaid they are hesitant to seek professional help for mental health concernssuch as stress, anxiety, and depression. Social media habits may contribute tothis, with men reporting that they spend an average of 2.3 hours per dayscrolling through social media. Those who say they are hesitant to seekprofessional help for mental health issues are almost twice as likely to spendfive or more hours daily on social media (19%).

For body transformation andonline fitness coach Danny Cavallaro, his motivation to start his programstemmed from personal struggles. He mentioned, “I started this program becauseI was unhappy and constantly stressed. I was 30 pounds overweight, uncomfortablein my own skin, and nothing I tried seemed to work. I was embarrassed about mybody and couldn't take off my shirt at public beaches without feeling insecure.It took me years of trial and error to find out what worked best for me andallowed me to sustain long-term weight loss results. So, I decided to helpothers in the same situation. I've helped over 100 busy guys lose 15-30 lbs,regain their confidence, and minimize future health risks.” He joined me thisweek to discuss how men can make their health a top priority and how it cancontribute to the overall welfare of their entire lives.
