Let us listen to the boys!
We'll hear ... for boys and men! Celebration Health Month men began May 31, 1994 to increase awareness of preventable health problems and encourage the detection and treatment of disease among men in early.
Most major health threats that men face are largely preventable. These include the heart, mental, and prostate health and cardiovascular health and diabetes. We encourage people to eat a balanced diet, participating in regular exercise, getting enough sleep, and participate in preventive health examinations.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests decreasing your consumption of salt and eat more vegetables to celebrate the week of Men's Health (June 15th-19th). Health Network of men invites you to be part of "wear blue", a campaign that celebrates the men in our lives. Show your support and pick a day this month to wear blue!
