MOUNT VERNON – Father’s Day is quickly approaching, and now is the perfect time to encourage the men in your life to take better care of themselves.
The month of June is National Men’s Health Month to urge men to stay healthy by eating right, exercising and seeking regular checkups.
Men’s health is not just a “man’s issue,” it’s a family issue. Men’s health can impact everyone around them: wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, etc.
So the question is, what can men do to be healthier?
- Eat healthy — add more fruits and vegetable into your diet and limit foods that are high in calories, sugar, salt and fat.
- Get moving — make a personal goal to increase physical activity each week. Pick activities you enjoy to help you stay motivated.
- Quit tobacco — it’s never too late to quit. We can help you on your quit journey by calling 740-392-2200 ext. 2233 today.
- Make prevention a priority — schedule yearly checkups and regular health screenings with your medical provider. Make an appointment today with our health center at 740-399-8008.
- Set an example — be consistent with your healthy habits and be a role model for those around you.
