According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/products\/databriefs\/db355.htm\">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>, men in the United States, on average, die 5 years earlier than women and die at higher rates from the three leading causes of death, heart disease, cancer and unintentional injuries. During Men\u2019s Health Month, we encourage men to take control of their health, and for families to teach young boys healthy habits throughout childhood.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The HHS Office of Minority Health will also observe <a href=\"http:\/\/www.menshealthnetwork.org\/wearblue\/\">Wear Blue Day<\/a> on Friday, June 19. This day is a part of the year-round Wear BLUE\u00ae awareness campaign that was created by Men\u2019s Health Network to raise awareness about the importance of male health and to encourage men to live longer and healthier lives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We invite you to join us in promoting messages like OMH\u2019s Five Plays for Men\u2019s Health that remind men and boys that they can improve their health by seeking medical advice and taking other important steps, such as making healthy food choices, staying active, quitting smoking, getting regular checkups and taking care of their mental health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From the US Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.minorityhealth.hhs.gov\/omh\/content.aspx?ID=10238\"><strong>https:\/\/www.minorityhealth.hhs.gov\/omh\/content.aspx?ID=10238<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June is Men\u2019s Health Month, a national observance used to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":1091,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[32,33,31,29,30],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 -
