Good Health is the Ultimate Superpower
June is Men’s Health Month. From heart health to mental wellness, we encourage you to take charge of your health journey.
Heart Health: Heart disease remains a leading cause of death among men worldwide, with approximately 1 in every 4 male deaths in the United States attributed to heart disease. During Men’s Health Month, recommit to a lifestyle of heart-healthy habits, incorporate regular exercise, a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and schedule routine check-ups to monitor blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Prostate Health: As men age, prostate health becomes increasingly significant making regular screenings and discussions with health care providers vital for early detection and treatment of prostate conditions. Did you know that prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men worldwide? This Men’s Health Month, prioritize open communication with your doctor and stay informed about prostate health guidelines and screenings.
Testicular Health: Testicular health is often overlooked but equally important. Did you know that testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men aged 15 to 34? Early detection of testicular cancer significantly improves treatment outcomes, so perform monthly self-exams to check for any unusual lumps, swelling, or changes in texture. This Men’s Health Month, make testicular health a priority and don’t hesitate to seek medical attention if you notice any abnormalities.
Mental Health: Mental health is an integral component of overall well-being, yet stigma often prevents men from seeking help. There’s no better time to break down these barriers and prioritize mental wellness. Reach out to trusted friends, family members or mental health professionals for support. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Regular check-ups, screenings, and vaccinations are essential for detecting and preventing potential health issues before they escalate. Take action today!
