Discussion Forum 4
Some factors that increase a man’s risk of developing injury or disease are out of his control. We cannot choose our own genetics, and people who are impoverished cannot simply choose not to be. We can choose what we eat, when and how we exercise, and many other things that affect health outcomes. Explore healthy and unhealthy behaviors. Choose one of each and explain what actions a man could perform to incorporate the healthy behavior and mitigate the unhealthy behavior.
