For all you men at Madison Who’s Who here’s something to read and think about. Typically, men think about their health at one time—during a crisis. But the problem with that wait-and-treat approach is that men are constantly responding to health emergencies rather than preventing them.

So what’s the prescription for better men’s health? Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen say there are 11 things a man should eat every day-or nearly every day-to keep things running smoothly:

1. Fruits and vegetables-beets, raisins, dates and soybeans are especially important because they keep your bowels moving regularly.

2. Get about 25 grams of fiber in every day.

3. Eat foods rich in folate-800 milligrams a day.

4. Eat tomatoes to decrease risk of arterial aging, heart disease, stroke, memory loss, impotence, and wrinkling of the skin.

5. Walnuts and almonds-excellent source of heart healthy omega-3s.

Check back on Friday for 6-11.
