How about 6. #1 – You’ll live longer. #2 – it’ll make your work more tolerable. 3 - you’ll help out your heart, 4 - you can defeat diabetes, #5 – you can build a better back and #6 – you will get rid of the hidden fat.

It seems men are taking more of an interest in their health. In a new study, the men polled could answer a few key facts. For instance, 78 percent knew their blood pressure level and 60 percent knew how high their cholesterol is. Although, the survey also found 4 percent of the men hadn't gone to the doctor in more than five years. Three percent said they couldn't remember the last time they went, and 4 percent said they just don't go to doctors.
