Family Meal Planning
Eating Well for Wellness

In most cases it takes forever to get a man to go to the doctor. However, pain in the chest, funny looking moles and extreme tiredness are reasons for concern. Men generally die younger than women. In the early 1900s, women only lived about a year longer than men. Now the gap has widened. This is alarming to female family meal planners. Since changing food habits may be all that is necessary in addition to simple medical attention. The biggest killers of men are heart disease, stroke, suicide, prostrate cancer and lung cancer. Men, as well as women, need to examine their daily routine and their eating habits. The meal planner should prepare heart-healthy meals in relationship to the foods enjoyed. Men should exercise regularly and be an example to the family. Play an active sport with the family before the evening meal. Swimming, bike riding, baseball and soccer are very active family sports. If the man is physically challenged, do some other activity with the family. Deep-breathing exercises can be done with all the family. Remember that the family that prays together stays together. The man of the household should be an example to the family in his Spiritual faith. Christians should attend church as a family unit. They should pray for needs of the family, friends and current events. Bible reading with the family is always a favorite pastime before closing the evening. Meal planners should be watchful about the mental, spiritual and physical wellness of the man of honor in the family. Nutritious and wholesome foods will help to keep the man in your life fit.

Another favorite dish is fig bread or raw figs dipped in honey.
