	from Dave Johns Greetings! I'm Dave Johns, About.com's Health Editor, and this is my very first About Health newsletter. Many thanks to About's hardworking Headaches Guide Teri Robert, who has been at the helm of About Health for the past several years. Thanks so much for your great work, Teri! This week in About Health we shine a spotlight on men's health during National Men's Health Week. If men are from Mars, as the saying goes, then it may not surprise you that they have health concerns that can be a world apart from their feminine counterparts.

In the Spotlight

What is Men's Health?
It's been said that simply being male is bad for your health. Men tend to take part in jobs and pastimes that are riskier than those of most women, and they often pay the price in terms of health. On average, men die at a younger age than women, although the reasons for this are not entirely clear. So what do we know about men's health, and what can men do to keep fit, stay healthy and live as long and well as women?

Do Men Really Think About Sex More Than Women?
The stereotype of men as overly focused on sex has been around a long, long time. But is it true?

Top Picks - Top Gifts for Walking Dads from your Walking Guide

Show that you support your dad in his active lifestyle with gifts that will help him keep moving. If your dad is like mine, he loves gadgets that will help him track his walking workouts and keep him on course. Secretly, he also wants to look good and be comfortable when out walking. For Father's Day, you can help make his steps a little lighter with these gifts.

1) Weather Forecaster with ExactSet Clock
Is it walking weather? My dad rated this "the best present I ever got." This gizmo from Oregon Scientific displays the temperature indoors and outdoors from up to 3 remote sensors and communicates with them cable-free. The clock resets itself constantly from satellite transmissions so you always have the right time. It predicts the weather for the next few hours based on barometric pressure.

2) Timex Triathlon Heart Monitor - Watch
A heart rate monitor is a great gadget for the walking dad. This one acts as a sports watch with countdown timer, stopwatch, alarm, time of day and calendar. As a heart rate monitor, he can set a target heart zone and be alerted when he is out of zone.

3) Walking Hats
A cap with a walking slogan will keep sun and rain off his head and inspire him to go walking. It keeps away sun, wind, and rain while wicking away sweat and protecting that bald spot.
