Does your husband take care of himself? (Working out, eating healthy, vitamins, water)

Question

I’m not talking about physical appearance either. My husband always feels tired and run down. He’s a contractor so he is active a little bit. But he never eats fruit and barely eats the veggies I make with dinner. He will snack late at night. Have a coffee and red bull to start the day. Just bad habits. He’s not fat. I don’t want to sound like his mother but idk how to get through to him. He’s 31 and I want him to be around for a long time. I would love some tips, thanks!!

Answer

Wow did I write this !? Me and my man JUST had this convo. Today I went to the grocery store and I bought a ton of fruits and veggies. I made snack bags so he can easily put them in his lunch pail. I decided to help him meal prep . Some Men don’t really no how to eat healthy 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

My husband gained almost 75 lbs after we graduated college (back in 2014) and I would hint at him needed to eat healthier, get more active, etc, because I felt he wasn’t in great shape (health wise or physically). It was effecting our sex life (he would get so sweaty during sex and it would keep me from wanting to do it) and his B.O. smelled AWFUL. I tried everything from subtly refusing to cook unhealthy food to straight up telling him his weight and choices were effecting how attracted I was to him (not the nicest but I didn’t want to lie to him). 
One day he shaved his beard off and upon seeing himself in a car window he realized he looked JUST like his father (who had also gained a ton of weight). It shocked him a lot because he doesn’t want to be like his father at ALL and he decided it was time to make a change. He started working out and did a healthy juice diet for a few months, and has shifted to counting calories now. 
He’s lost 50 pounds and has never had more energy, but I guess my point is that nothing I said or did was enough to be the impetus of change. He had to decide himself that he wanted to be healthier. 
I don’t know what your lifestyle is, but maybe you start making subtle changes and exaggerate the benefits. Have a healthy green smoothie that tastes great every morning and tell him how it gives you DO MUCH more energy than coffee used to. He may pick up on things if you don’t come right out and say then. Does that make sense?? 
Good luck!!!!

Answer

my husband is the complete opposite. he loves working out, and eats super healthy and clean for the most part idk how he doesn't cause I definitely dont have the discipline to do it lol

Answer

My husband is a football coach and a recruiter so of course he is very active. He takes great care of himself, not only for his appearance, but for his health as well. He eats healthy and is very active. We both have healthy lifestyles and we plan to pass those traits to our daughter. We have really healthy diets and we are VERY active.

Answer

I have the problem that my husband is trying to gain weight.....I know right 🤯 its disgusting. He literally eats fast food everyday and still has a six pack.  So he thinks because he’s not fat or over weight, that he’s healthy. Sooooo thats what Im dealing with

Answer

Does he know how important that all is? Maybe send him articles a couple times a week about how vegetables are really good for you.
My husband doesn’t like broccoli, for example, but always eats a serving when i make it because “well I suppose it’s good for me.”
