The doctor’s orders are in, and they’re for men to take a targeted, proactive approach to improving heart health, cardiovascular fitness, and long-term longevity in the new year. With heart disease remaining the leading cause of death in men in the UK, focusing on prevention has never been more important. NHS & private GP specialising in men’s health, Dr Jeff Foster, shares 7 science-backed New Year’s resolutions that can significantly improve cardiovascular health, blood pressure, cholesterol, metabolic health, and overall heart function. Dr Foster breaks down the medical science in clear, practical terms so men can understand why improving heart health is critical, how lifestyle choices impact heart disease risk, and what steps men in the United Kingdom should prioritise in 2026 and beyond to protect their hearts and live longer, healthier lives.-Timestamps:00:00 Cardiovascular Disease in the UK01:27 The Biggest Killer in Men02:18 What is Cardiovascular Disease?05:24 Causes of Heart Disease08:55 Quit Smoking & Vaping09:34 Reduce Body Weight10:42 Reduce Your Blood Pressure12:57 Reduce Your Cholesterol16:16 Increase Your Exercise18:26 Improve Your Sleep Quality19:14 How To Recognise an Emergency21:35 Are Young Men Having More Heart Attacks?-Follow Man Alive:https://instagram.com/manalivepodcasthttps://facebook.com/drjefffosterhttps://tiktok.com/man.alive.podcast-Listen to Man Alive:https://open.spotify.com/show/0A4wuGuqnetkeBwxPdcyqnhttps://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/man-alive-with-dr-jeff-foster/id1849695640MAN ALIVE is presented by Voy.
