Taking control of your health during Men's Health Month

While men may be less likely than women to seek medical help, the impact on their health extends beyond themselves. Whether single, married, working, studying, or leading other lifestyles, men's health affects the well-being of their wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, and coworkers. It's time we all take a proactive role in men's health.

June is men's health month, a perfect time to reflect on well-being. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 13.2% of men age 18+ are in fair or poor health. That's a staggering 1,058,624,053 men worldwide! But here's the good news: have the power to improve your health this year. Let's commit to our well-being by focusing on the following this month and beyond:

• Get regular checkups
• Eat a healthy diet
• Be active
• Avoid smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke
• Limit alcohol consumption
• Manage stress

While you or the men in your life can do these things alone, it is sometimes necessary to ask for help, and that's okay! At CareNow Urgent Care, we are here to support you. We offer many screenings and can get you the help you need.
