This updated guide emphasizes preventive care for men: regular primary care visits, a balanced diet with adequate calcium and vitamin D, at least 150 minutes of weekly activity plus strength training, blood pressure and cholesterol monitoring, routine dental care, staying current with vaccines (tetanus, influenza, pneumococcal, hepatitis), avoiding tobacco and limiting alcohol, awareness of testicular changes, individualized prostate screening discussions, and prioritizing mental health and social support. Work with your clinician to tailor these measures to your age and risks.
Why preventive care matters
Most men underestimate routine care. Regular visits with a primary care provider let you review medical history, update vaccines, check vitals and order appropriate labs. Preventive habits - diet, exercise, sleep, substance use, and mental-health support - add years of healthy life.Nutrition and bone health
A balanced diet built on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and limited processed foods supports long-term health. Aim to reduce processed and red meats and favor plant-based meals most days. Low-fat dairy or fortified alternatives provide calcium; adult men typically need about 1,000 mg daily (higher after age 70). Morning sunlight and diet or supplements help maintain vitamin D levels. Ask your clinician before starting supplements.Move every week
Adults should get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity (or 75 minutes vigorous) plus muscle-strengthening exercises on two or more days. Short, regular sessions count - aim for 30 minutes most days to improve cardiovascular health, mood, and metabolism.Heart and metabolic health
Monitor blood pressure and cholesterol with your provider. Normal blood pressure is under 120/80 mm Hg; higher readings require evaluation and, if needed, treatment. Desirable total cholesterol is below 200 mg/dL, but specific LDL goals are individualized. Maintain a healthy weight and discuss heart disease risk and prevention with your clinician.Oral health
See a dentist regularly (commonly every six months). Daily brushing with fluoride toothpaste and flossing reduce cavities and gum disease, which also links to overall health.Vaccinations
Stay current with vaccines. Adults typically need a tetanus booster every 10 years. Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended for many adults; hepatitis A is advised for travelers to high-risk countries and for men who have sex with men. Get an annual influenza vaccine. Pneumococcal vaccination is recommended for adults 65 and older and for younger men with certain health conditions.Substance use and sexual health
Avoid tobacco and limit alcohol (CDC defines moderate drinking as up to two drinks per day for men). Seek help for substance use disorders - treatments are effective. Use safer-sex practices to reduce sexually transmitted infections and talk openly with partners and clinicians about risks.Genital and cancer awareness
Know your body. Testicular lumps or changes should prompt prompt evaluation. Routine testicular self-exam recommendations vary; discuss what makes sense for you with your clinician. Prostate-cancer screening (PSA testing) is not automatic - discuss risks and benefits with your provider, especially if you are in a higher-risk group. 1Mental health and social connection
Prioritize sleep, social support and stress management. Therapy, peer groups, meditation, yoga and regular exercise reduce anxiety and depression. Religious or community groups can also help sustain mental balance.Work with your clinician
Many preventive steps are simple, but individual needs vary by age, family history and chronic conditions. Review your personal plan with a primary care provider and update it regularly.- Confirm current CDC/ACIP pneumococcal vaccination schedule for adults (age and vaccine type recommendations).
- Verify current CDC recommendation wording for hepatitis B vaccination for adults (age groups and who should be vaccinated).
- Confirm guideline details on prostate cancer screening: recommended starting ages for average, higher, and highest risk groups (AUA/ACS/USPSTF differences).
- Clarify official position on routine testicular self-examination (USPSTF/other societies) and recommended advice for clinicians.

How much exercise do I need each week?

Recommendations vary. Be familiar with your testicles and report any lumps or changes promptly. Ask your clinician whether a regular self-check is appropriate for you.
What blood pressure and cholesterol targets should I aim for?
Normal blood pressure is below 120/80 mm Hg. Total cholesterol below 200 mg/dL is desirable, but LDL goals depend on your individual risk factors and should be set with your provider.

Prioritize regular exercise, adequate sleep, strong social connections, and stress-management practices like meditation or yoga. Seek professional help for persistent anxiety or depression.
