If you are a single father, how is your diet, lifestyle and exercise routine? If you have been raised by a single father, how was your experience in regard to this question?

No woman to nag him into seeing the doctor. So instead of going to the ER for chest pain, he takes antacids.

How does it compare to single men, without children? That it, not fathers.

I was a single father for a couple of years. When I started dating my future wife she would occasionally cook meals for me and my son.

She made my son a meal which included vegetables. My son who was about 3 years old as he ate the vegetables for the first time said “What are these? These are really really good.”

As a married father a good bit of my nutrition comes from child leftovers and food items which fell on the floor.

How does the health of single fathers compare with single non fathers?

The study didn’t include single women without children either.

The reason is not established with certainty, but researchers suspect an unbalanced diet, lack of exercise, and higher alcohol consumption.

Damn, I missed out! I could've told them these things with a bid of 1/2 of what was paid. Not to mention drug use.

It was a near-run thing for me. When Barb came into my life, I was battling keeping a job, paying alimony and raising an abused teenaged son whose Mother was still trying to convince him that the divorce was all his fault for ratting her out for abusing him.

Like Barb said, I was keeping all of the balls in the air, but I was exhausted emotionally and incredibly fragile.

Society tends to blame the Father for nearly everything, expects him to pay for everything, and to have broad shoulders, because he is a man!

I was lucky. Barb came into our life at the right time. I was eating well, because I had the obligation to feed my son, especially after I found out that his Mother had been very delinquent in that. It broke my heart when my son guiltily asked me for something to eat, expecting that I would yell at him. As to exercise, who had time? I had three hours of commuting, every day, plus keeping the house, caring for my son. I was active in Scouting as a leader, so that did get me out of the house and somewhat active.

I think that taking care of my son kept me going, but I am afraid that had Barb not come into my life when she did, I would probably be dead today, instead of thriving.

Considering the entire misandrist society only cares about women, and only cares about the man if he can be a womans resource, not surprising stress takes them out faster than women.

the results of this survey showed "a real need for public health policies to help identify and support these men.”

Or maybe just encourage them to be in a relationship before they become fathers.

That and a man is far less likely to ask for help from friends and relatives.

My sister-in-law who was divorced with two kids, the father then died shortly after under unusual circumstances, so no help from him.

She never had a problem asking for help with almost anything. Something your typical man would never do.

Single men without kids have more money and time so we can go to the gym. This promotes healthier eating and abstaining from alcohol - at least Sunday night through Friday morning.

Then we blow all our money on restaurants and booze on the weekends and then go out and do ridiculous things on ski slopes or mt. bikes or whatever other toys we can afford that can end in tragedy. Well, comedy to other observers. And knowledge of the latter makes it all worthwhile.

Transient beings and all.

Duh, I bet fathers are older than mothers and that is why they die “prematurely”
