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 💓

Your 21-day Family Caregiver's Challenge: Thrive into 2025!🎉Day 19: Make Time For Friends!📞💗🫂
#newyear2025 #sociallife #friendship #connections #familycaregiver #timeout #habitsthatwillchangeyourlife #lanaslittlethings
📞💗🤝Day 19:Take/make time to connect with family and friends, especially your peers!
There is life in association, and the isolation (self-imposed or otherwise), from the lockdowns of COVID-19, really caused many of us to feel isolated and alone, still 5 years later!😢 (yesssss it is still here!)😢
Think of a flock of sheep🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑!
Have you ever seen sheep alone? If so, it is LOST- What does it do to signal its distress? It bleats.........LOUDLY!!!
What is YOUR distress signal?
⚠️😩😩😩😩😩⚠️
Arrange for a friend's night out! Zoom- Facetime! A simple telephone call (remember those? LOL📞📞)
If a friend or relative, or even a trusted paid caregiver can arrange to come and spend just a few hours with your loved one, then arrange with YOUR peers for a "time-out together"- talk , reminisce, "get your groove back!
The association with peers who know and understand you can be such a refresher!💐🫂🫂
Schedule the time, do not wait for a "chance encounter"!
