The purpose of Men’s Health Month is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys.
This month gives health care providers, public policy makers, the media, and individuals an opportunity to encourage men and boys to seek regular medical advice and early treatment for disease and injury. The response has been overwhelming with hundreds of awareness activities in the USA and around the globe.
Like most things in life, there is not one method that works for everyone. I have done like most folks over the years, trying this and that to get a more balanced lifestyle and healthier me. Some things have worked in the short and intermediate time frame – I have just not found the right answer for the long term to date. I know the right answer and solution to my problem. Now I must make that all important decision to set my objectives, goals, get the right folks to help me and ‘make it happen.’
