Men’s Health Week is recognized the week before Father’s Day every June. During this week, people are asked to do a variety of things to
help bring awareness to the many health topics that specifically affect men. The goal of Men's Health Week is to raise the amount of awareness for preventable health problems that can affect men and encourage early detection and treatment of those diseases as well. Did you know that Prostate Cancer is the most common cancer in men? It is the 2nd leading cancer killer of men, behind lung cancer.
Some of the ways you can help to spread awareness are by
wearing blue the Friday before Father’s Day, posting it on social media and encouraging
others to do the same. Other things you can
do are encourage others around you to be active and proactive with health screenings. This Father’s Day, spend time with your family doing fun activities like having a healthy bbq or just finding a physical activity everyone can participate in!
