June is National Men's Health Month! Along with Father’s Day, June hosts another important date; June 10-16 is nationally recognized as Men’s Health Week. It is a time to bring extra awareness to the preventable health problems that men face and encourage them to seek early detection and treatment of diseases. With men leading the death rate for cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and suicide, June can be a great reminder to start taking more responsibility for your health. You can celebrate Men's Health with these important tips: 1. Find a primary care doctor and start scheduling regular visits. 2. Get screening tests based on your age and family history. 3. Eat healthy to manage and prevent chronic health problems. 4. Get moving! Find a way to be active every day and stay active! If you can't remember the last time that you saw your doctor, or if your gut feeling tells you that something may be off, it's time to make that call and schedule an appointment! |
