Making Room for the Men

This Sunday, as you’re celebrating Father’s Day with the important men in your life, what do you plan on serving? Consider giving your father the gift of health with a nutritious meal low in fat and calories. With 71% of American men classified as overweight (BMI 30+) and 31% classified as obese (BMI 40+), it’s time we stopped looking at healthy living and weight loss as something that belongs to the girls’ club. Obesity in men can be linked to prostate cancer, sleep apnea, heart attacks, diabetes and even affect their sex life. It’s important to give the fathers, grandfathers, husbands, sons and brothers in your life that encouraging nudge to make healthy lifestyle changes, so that you’ll have them for many more celebrations.
