As a man who has turned 42, I’ve learned the importance of maintaining my health and wellness. After more than a decade, I finally went for a checkup. Thankfully, I’m in pretty good shape, minus some now-controlled high blood pressure.
With that in mind, I want to keep getting healthier, and to celebrate Movember, I’m focusing on men’s mental, physical and emotional well-being. It’s the perfect time to take stock of the tools and products that make self-care easier. From grooming gear to fitness essentials, here are five products that every man should have at home to stay on top of his health. All are great for personal use, and also make fantastic gifts for the men in your life.
