NEW YORK - ColoradoDesk -- Sixty-three-year-old men face three significant issues daily. They include problems with relationships, making up their minds, and how others feel about them and their actions.

There are many more issues, such as the loss of loved ones; for example, this year, I lost my younger brother, Patrick Anyoha, and my brother-in-law, Okwudili Ike. Money crunch, mental sickness, physical disabilities, etc., creep in as well.

Take relationships, for example. At sixty-three, men worry if they have quality relationships with their spouses, children, siblings, and extended families. Who they count as close friends matters a lot to them.

Affection reciprocity becomes a big deal. Who reached out to them and who failed to reach out, both in good and bad times, captures their feelings with an intensity that did not exist in previous years.

Sixty-three is when men suddenly realize that life is not all about them alone and begin thinking about how their decisions affect others.  Believe it or not, noticing and acting on the awareness that others might have a legitimate point of view worthy of consideration is not something that men are born with, but something that seeds, buds, and blossoms in them at age sixty-three.

In good men, considering others' points of view contributes to decision delays, which might come across as apathy to casual observers or even to inattentive family members.

Good sleep, mental and physical activities, and plant-based food keep men at age sixty-three healthy and productive. Seven to eight hours of sleep is the sweet spot for sound sleep at this age. Regular exercise helps keep bodily functions going. Playing soccer on Saturdays when my knees are not hurting is my thing.

Eating healthy food becomes critical when you are not exercising at age sixty-three. Beans are what I love to eat. They have fibers, protein, carbohydrates, fat, minerals and vitamins.

At sixty-three, feeling loved by family and friends provides me with the necessary support to endure mounting adversities that pop up from all angles and dream for a more prosperous future.
