Always make the adoption counselor answer three questions before he talks you into buying the right dog for you.
What is the Age of the Dog?
If you think you are free most of the time then you should go to buy a puppy because you’d have plenty of time to train it with chewing, eating and playing. But if you happen to be a busy man, always go for adult dogs who are already trained.
Is the dog shy?
If you are a very active person, go with a dog who tends to jump and play all around all day but if all you and is someone to be your living buddy and TV partner then go with a calmer pooch!
Is the Dog Good with Kids?
Make sure that the dog you choose is nice and sweet. It should be calm towards all people specifically kids and you’d never go wild on anyone. It is a major safety precaution which must be taken.

40 is that age where you get closer to the possibility of many drastic changes in your health. Therefore, your 40th birthday might be the perfect time for you to put your health in stock! Your health even then is perfectly under your control, all you have to do is to get more cautious and put it under a regular check.
Look out for the following factors and you will be perfectly fine for years to come!
Look Out For Your Vision!
At the age of 40, you might start having a little problem with your vision and to keep it under strict check would be one way to keep it from progression. You should be able to read clearly all the medicine labels and you should use your reading glasses when required and not put your eyes under strain. It is suggested that you use sunglasses to prevent any damage to your eyes because too much of sun exposure can increase cataracts so sunglasses or shades (providing UV-A and UV-B protection) are always a good idea.
A diet high in fruits and vegetables can slow down the process of vision loss as it provides your body with anti-toxicants, vitamins, and minerals.
You Must Know Your Numbers
At the age of 40, it is about time that you memorize all your numbers for blood pressure, weight, cholesterol levels and diabetes. These four things must be kept under control because any disturbance in these factors can make a person fall prey to cardiac diseases, stroke, and kidney problems.
So the next time you go to a pharmacy, take a blood sugar test and have your blood pressure measured and keep a record of them for your doctor to have a look.
Muscle Up!
At the age of 40, you start losing one percent of your total muscle mass per year. To control this factor, you must have a weekly exercise plan, which is well supported by weight bearing exercises. If you manage to maintain your muscle mass, you will not find it difficult to enjoy all the activities you did in your younger days.
Fiber Should Be Your Best Friend!
At the age of 40, your metabolism slows down and therefore you must shift your diet to a much healthier side. Fatty foods should be minimized because they might interrupt your normal digesting process and fiber and fluids should be maximized. With the progression of age, your calorie requirement lessens and so you must maintain a high nutrient and a high-fiber diet. This will do you a lot of good in the long run and will keep you from getting any sorts of digestive dysfunction.

Quit!
The age of 40 is a wake-up call for all the smokers out there!
Quitting smoking is one of the hardest things to do but if done, it prevents the incidence of all the major disease you can think of. Be it cardiac arrest, stroke, lung cancer or kidney failure, a nonsmoker is very less likely to fall victim to these.

To ensure a healthy life, men must be very cautious about their diet, visits to doctors, and the tests that are recommended to be conducted periodically. Following are some of the factors, which if given required consideration, will guarantee good health in men.
Coping With Stress
For almost all the men out there, financial, family, and career-related problems can make for 60% of their total stress. Stress in its initial stages might not be very harmful but in its chronic form, it leads to cardiac diseases. Heart diseases, caused by stress hit men at a relatively younger age than women and surprisingly enough, it is the leading factor to cause death in middle-aged men. The first step towards the healthcare of men should be to get all this stress off their backs! This can be achieved by regular exercise, yoga, meditation, stress, and anger management therapy if and when required.
Never Skip the Visit to Doctor
As they enter into their adult years, this is one of the most important habits that men should adopt. Men find it very annoying and inconvenient to get some time out of their busy lives to pay a visit to a doctor even if that is for their own good but this attitude must be shunned right here, right now!
This visit should include your regular check-up and some basic medical and fitness tests.
Drop the extra calories!
Men while entering their midlife, become less and less concerned about putting on extra fats around the middle. These extra fats must be burnt, as they are predictors of diabetes and heart diseases. Even slight obesity should not be left untreated. To deflate the extra tire, it is advisable to make working out at the gym or cardio-vascular exercises a part of your routine. This will not only keep you physically fit but will also relieve stress and anxiety!
Do not forget To Take the Basic Tests Periodically

There are a few tests that all men need to go through after a standard specified time. These tests include the cholesterol level test and the diabetes test. You need to talk to your doctor about your weight and overall physical fitness. You must also get you blood pressure checked periodically (especially if it runs in your family) because high blood pressure causes stroke and heart disease.
