The week before Father’s Day is devoted to Men’s Health. There are several areas of concern that men in particular face when it comes to their health. Below are just a few ways Men’s Health Network recommends men take charge of their health.

1. Schedule your annual physical checkup.

It's important to take care of your medical health, and men are less likely to participate in annual checkups than women.

2. Reach out to a friend you haven't heard from in a while.

Social connection has a significant impact on your wellbeing.

3. Research mental health services in your area.

It's always okay to ask for help. NAMI offers great resources on their blog to help you take the first step to finding a mental health professional.

4. Schedule a day of self care.

Whether you love to hit the weights or prefer cooking a great meal, find time take care of yourself.

Remember to treat yourself to great health practices this week, and all year round.
