PPU - Peace, Patience, Understanding Like many of you, I have watched what is happening around our nation following the appalling death of George Floyd in Minnesota. I certainly understand the reason for the protests and demonstrations which followed in that state and in many states around the country. Peaceable protests and demonstrations are a hallmark of our democracy and there were many such events which served the purpose of creating dialogue and furthering necessary change in our communities. Some of the protests turned into riots, often with looting, property damage and violence. This unfortunately lessened the focus on the discourse which the original protests were searching for.

June is Men’s Health Awareness month and June 21st is Father’s Day. Give the man in your life the gift of a healthier life.- Encourage him to get a physical. Most of the factors that contribute to men’s shorter, less healthy lives are preventable. And that prevention starts with seeing a healthcare provider on a regular basis. Adult men in the United States visit primary care providers at lower rates than adult women. Establishing baselines for factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, and PSA (a screening test for prostate cancer risk)—and monitoring how they change over time—will enable the provider to catch potentially dangerous conditions early, when they’re still treatable. You can download a helpful chart of recommended screenings at www.healthfinder.gov.
- Encourage him to get physical. The benefits of physical activity on health outcomes are extensive, and many people find it difficult to get motivated for physical activity on their own. Rather than simply telling your dad to exercise and then hoping that he will, do it with him. Join a recreation league at your local community center, sign up for group personal training sessions to get fit together, or simply make a routine out of regular walks. Simple, yes, but not always easy.
- Let him know you care. One reason men disregard their own health is that they’re too busy taking care of everyone else. What they don’t realize, however, is that if they die early, they’ll be hurting the very people they’ve worked so hard to protect. So remind him that you and your other family members love him and need him to be alive and healthy for as long as possible.

Appropriate Face Mask Wearing As the guidelines loosen on restrictions due to the spread of COVID-19 it is still important to social distance and to wear a face mask. A face mask does not work unless it is worn properly. It must cover your nose and mouth and must fit snuggly on your face. |
