Health Benefits of Fatherhood

by kate baggott on April 25th, 2006

OK. The next time you need your husband to take the kids, there is another argument to convince him to do it. Fatherhood is good for men’s health.

According to an article on Parents.com, fatherhood is a boon to men’s health because it encourages him to change bad habits, change his diet, and it forces him to become physically active. Improved self-esteem, lowered stress levels and increased enjoyment of life are additional benefits.

That is a very, very different list than the health benefits of motherhood that I blogged a few weeks ago, but no less important.
