The Age-old debate: "Women live longer and healthier than men".

AGREE?/DISAGREE?

Sorry gents; YES we do!

Before the inevitable protests, please hear me out!

I am not only going by the science, but also what is observable day after year, year after year:

WHY?

Basically ONE "not in your control" , but TWO well within your capacity to Champion Change!

(For the purpose of this discussion, the conversation will, for clarity, be based on this premise. I will not be discussion the myriad genetic aberrances such as XXY or other. Nor is this a social debate- for a different time).

So, let's continue:

🔬NOT IN YOUR CONTROL (Science, not social)- please remember that as medical professionals, we must adhere to the gender assigned at birth and all that goes with it:

🧬FEMALES: XX ; MALES : XY (a statistical advantage- if one has any defects, women have the benefit of the unaffected X chromosome; Males- it is what is is. As a direct result of this:

🧬 Oestrogen has been proven to have cardio and cerebrovascular protection - if your heart lives longer- so do you!; if your brain lives healthy longer, the longer it can keep you healthy !

✅IN YOUR CONTROL ✅

LIFESTYLE FACTORS

✅🔬A Healthy Lifestyle - women have been outpacing men on this for decades - diet generally 😟poor in nutrients generally due to lack of food preparation- males, especially between the ages of 20 to 40/50/60(?)

😟smoking,😟 excessive alcohol use - both of which slash your life expectancy

✅Seeking health check-ups - know if anything is wrong and correct it : hands down- women

✅SOCIAL -

😟Occupational choices and their hazards - males- typically more dangerous jobs

😟SUPPORT NETWORK!!!! - we ladies can vent and release our emotions; we are more "allowed to- so change it gents!! Have your "Mansheds of Mentorship" for younger males who WILL talk

I Challenge YOU GENTLEMEN- SHOW UP !! For us ladies , yourselves and your children!

YOU GOT THIS!

From my heart to yours 💓
