June is Men's Health Awareness Month!
This month is meant to recognize all things that affect the daily lives of men. Did you know that men typically visit their healthcare providers less frequently than women? Did you know that one in 3 men suffer from a condition related to cardiovascular disease? Not only that, cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death for men! If you or you loved ones have not yet made a commitment to be healthy this year, now is the time!By making small changes like eating healthy, getting exercise and staying on top of preventative care, you can take big steps in improving your overall well being! Getting a regular check can include blood pressure screening, cholesterol, glucose, and prostate health. Because 1 in 2 men are diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, it is imperative that you stay on top of these well checks!
