MEN: HAVING KIDS WILL KILL YOU

A new study from Northwestern University and Children’s Hospital of Chicago claims that having kids is bad for men’s health. Specifically, researchers found that cardiovascular health tended to be worse for fathers compared to men without kids. The study found that as men age into older adulthood, those who have children tend to have worse cardiovascular health compared to childless men. This was determined by looking at factors like diet, exercise, smoking, weight, blood pressure, and glucose levels. The researchers theorize that the added responsibilities and stresses that come with parenthood make it more challenging for fathers to take care of themselves and maintain a healthy lifestyle by exercising regularly and eating nutritious food.

* What it really comes down to is getting hit in the nuts all the time by your toddler.
* Sorry, moms, you’re on your own. Get your own research.
