A lot of men have problems in their lives, and they don't always know how to deal with those problems. They too need to realize the importance of practicing self-care.  Men are constantly being pressured to perform. They are expected to be strong, financially secure, good fathers, providers, etc. Men need to learn how to properly care for themselves. Some self-care ideas are to eat right, get enough rest, exercise, and let others know they are there for them when they need help. Finally. Men need to realize that self-care is just as important as self-respect. Self-respect comes from within; it is earned by doing what is necessary to keep yourself healthy both physically and mentally.
