June is Men's Health awareness month

June is National Men’s Health awareness month. An entire month dedicated to reminding men to take care of themselves. Go to the nearest Gundersen Lutheran Health Resource Library to find books and videos on men’s health topics including prostate health, heart health, healthy eating, exercise and more.

Here are a few websites that will provide you with information if you can’t find the time to stop by the library.

Mens’s Health – MedlinePlus has information about some of the health concerns men face. You can also find screening guidelines.

Boys and Puberty – Information on his changing body for the little man in your life.

Want to test your knowledge about men’s health? The CDC has a short quiz to see how much you know.

The CDC also has e-cards available to remind the man in your life to see his doctor. http://www.cdc.gov/features/healthymen/
