Despite our nation’s vast advances in science, public health, and health care, the health status of racial and ethnic minority men continues to lag behind the general population. The website below provides information about disparities among boys and men in the United States.
Our teeth have such an important role to play in our lives. They help us chew and digest food, they help us to talk and speak clearly and they also give our face its shape.
Celebrated each year during June, Men’s Health Month brings awareness to the health issues all men face. Hosted by Men’s Health Network since 1992, the month is dedicated to enriching men’s health and wellness through a broad spectrum of national screening and educational campaigns.
Wear BLUE also raises awareness and money for education about men’s need to seek regular checkups, or testicular cancer education, prostate cancer education, or other health issues that affect men. (Cardiovascular disease, skin cancer, lung cancer, diabetes, gout, and more.)
It’s hard to get fresh fruits and vegetables in Alaska, so how can I meet my goal to eat more? It’s not as difficult as you think! We’re lucky in Alaska, as we have fresh, canned, and frozen options, as well as greens and berries from the land!
