According to the numbers, men face more health issues than women for a variety of reasons. The figures indicate women live 5-6 years longer than men and men top women for numbers of deaths in 9 of 10 causes of death categories. Let that sink in for a minute. If there’s any chance we are going to be able to stop this trend, we need to start now. Every June is Mens Health Month. The following discussion will describe exactly what Mens Health Month 2019 has to offer.
The Goal of Mens Health Month
Throughout the nation, important health organizations come together to address issues regarding the health of men in the US. The first thing they want to do is raise awareness about the fact men are at higher risk than women in some health categories. Sometimes, simple awareness is enough to prompt people to take steps to protect themselves.
Aside from raising general awareness, Mens Health Month 2019 offers health organizations the perfect platform for educating men. The education process serves as the first step in getting men to focus on the right health issues. Its amazing men can be so unaware of their vulnerability to problems like prostate cancer, heart disease, and even drug addiction.
The ultimate goal of Mens Health Month is to get boys and men to take preventative measures to protect themselves. Health organizations can accomplish this by providing seminars and free screenings for males who may not be able to afford them. When free screenings aren’t available, the information these groups are providing will hopefully motivate males to get a checkup on their own. Detection and early treatment are the best ways to keep little health issues from becoming significant health issues.
Addiction and Mens Health Month 2019
Addiction issues affect men in higher numbers than women. That very fact makes addiction a health issue men have to show concern about. Within the addiction treatment industry, facilities like Crest View Recovery Center support health promotions like Mens Health Month. We understand the importance of getting men into treatment sooner than later.
Once in a mens drug rehab program, the client will get the opportunity to fight back against their addiction. Detox will cleanse the body while therapy and counseling will attempt to cleanse the mind. Aside from dealing with the addiction, there’s another critical aspect of addiction treatment as it relates to health. Addictions make people vulnerable to subsequent health issues like liver and heart problems. That’s why getting addiction treatment as soon as possible is so important.
