    Many men ignore simple ways to keep their bodies strong and youthful. Here are the main culprits for aging:
    • Heart disease: It's the number one killer of men in the United States, due largely to unhealthy habits (e.g., smoking and eating a diet high in saturated fat, sodium, and sugar).
    • Cancer: This is the second leading cause of death. Diet plays an important role in preventing cancer, as does avoiding common carcinogens, such as tobacco smoke.
    • Chronic stress: It hinders your immune system response, making you more susceptible to infection and disease. It can also cause wrinkles and other visible signs of aging.
