June is Men's Health Month
|
Men's Health Month aims to encourage and educate men, boys and families about preventable health issues, early detection, and changes for a healthier life. Small steps repeated over time can become good habits. Here are a few to try:
- Pay attention to your eating habits. Add in snacks such as nuts, several servings of whole fruits and veggies, fiber, and plenty of water
- Schedule a nap into your day
- Do something that makes you smile daily
- Walk, bike, take the stairs, spend time outside
- Volunteer, focus on others
- Schedule an EKG and a prostate cancer screen

Heat Wave
Preventing heat-related illnesses, including heat stroke and heat exhaustion, is important for people of all ages, but extreme heat poses the greatest risk for people under age 4 and over 65, and anyone who has a pre-existing medical condition or who lives in a home without air conditioning. Stay cool, hydrated, find air-conditioning during hot hours, wear cool clothing, and pay attention to heat advisories.

Fun in the Sun
Unprotected skin can be burned by the sun’s UV rays in as little as 15 minutes. Sunscreen is recommended for anyone working and playing outside in the summer, even on cloudy days. It's best to avoid the heat of the day between 10am and 4pm. Hats, sunglasses, and long sleeves are also recommended for outdoors activities.
