June is a time to focus on men....and their health! It's International Men's Health Month & the week before Father's Day is National Men's Health Week.
If it's been a while since you had a check-up consider this a gentle reminder to call & make that appointment - remember prevention is better than cure!
Decide to take a look at your eating & lifestyle habits this week and think about changes you could begin to make towards healthier choices. If you need help, ask for it! The women in your life and health professionals are standing by ready to support you!
If you're a Dad that automatically makes you a role model & actions speak louder than words. I work with a lot with families & all too often I hear Moms say it's hard to get their children to eat certain foods because their husband's won't eat it. So don't just tell your kiddos to eat their veggies - let them see you eating more of them!
I'm pleased to say my husband & several of my male friends enjoy cooking but if this is something you've avoided in the past make this the week you learn to create a new dish! Men Can Cook is a fun site with easy, healthy recipes by men! Be inspired by celebrity chefs such as Jamie Oliver who advocate simple yet healthy meals and don't be intimidated thinking it has to be celebrity chef standard.
Health means looking after your body inside & out. As a new Consultant for Arbonne, a Swiss nutrition & skincare company established 32 years ago, I've been very impressed with their products & commitment to the environment and as Dr Peter Matravers explains, real men do practice skincare!
So while June is a month for enjoying sunshine & those delicious summer fruits, it's also a great time for men to take charge of their health & wellbeing!
