Heart disease, lung cancer, prostate issues, depression and skipping routine check-ups are among the biggest health threats men should watch. Small changes—regular exercise, balanced meals, quitting smoking, open conversations about mental health and timely screenings—can make a huge difference.

Set up a reminder on your phone for annual prostate and heart screenings, then block that time in your calendar every year.
