Forget the macho images of men as strong, silent loners -- research on the health benefits of relationships simply doesn't bear out that stereotype. In this video, Michael Roizen, MD, chief wellness officer for the Cleveland Clinic, explains.
So healthy relationships are one of the keys and men need them more than women. Men who are under the age of 50, even over the age of 50, get a huge benefit from having a great and healthy relationship. Women, just a little benefit under the age of 50, then they start to get an equal benefit.
So that really does prove that men need women more than women need men. Why is that so important, because it helps you manage your sress, it helps you be, if you will, able to control the things that otherwise would control you.
Let's face it. Men are different from women—and the way men approach relationships are different. Get insight into the opposite sex and learn how you can improve your relationships.
