June is Men’s Health Month
 
In the month of June, we celebrate the men in our lives on Father’s Day. The month of June is also dedicated to highlighting health issues that men face, as well as promoting early detection and treatment of disease among men. Men’s health issues don’t affect only men.  They have a significant impact on everyone around them. Woman’s involvement with the health of the men in their lives is critical.  Because women typically pay better attention to their health than men, they can help men to adopt healthier habits.
 
This month is all about encouraging the men in your life to focus on their health by eating right, exercising, and taking steps to prevent disease.
  
The following can help you lead a healthier life:
 
  1. Heart Disease is the No. 1 killer of men. Healthier food choices build a healthier heart — make fruits and vegetables half of your plate. 
  2. Getting just 30 minutes of exercise each day can help you live longer and healthier. 
  1. Getting regular check-ups can catch small problems before they become big problems. 
  1. Smoking causes cancer, heart disease and stroke – try going tobacco free. 
  1. These are some trying times, and life can get tough. When struggling with mental illness, be vigilant to continue to seek out God’s truth. Just as we seek help when we are physically ill, we should also seek help when we are struggling with our thoughts, emotions, or behaviors.
