In this month of honoring Dad, it is the perfect time to take measures to guarantee the men in our life are as healthy and physically fit as possible. In conjunction with Father’s Day, June is likewise designated as Men’s Health Month – something we should all pay attention to, as men are less likely than women to see a healthcare professional, in spite of a reduced life expectancy and a greater tendency for a full 14 out of 15 of the primary factors behind death.
Editor in Chief of the American Journal of Men’s Health, Demetrius Porche, DNS, RN, sums it up: “Men put their health last. Most men’s thinking is, if they can live up to their roles in society, then they’re healthy.”
Encourage the older men in your life to take a proactive position to healthcare to help reduce their danger of being diagnosed with these key health risks for men. Here are just a few proactive healthcare benefits.
