Description
Men’s Health Month – June is a month-long celebration that raises awareness about the health issues that affect men and boys. It’s all about encouraging you to take steps towards a healthy life, through better fitness, nutrition, mental health, and regular checkups. Started in 1994, it’s now observed every June across the United States and beyond. The goal? To help you (and the other guys in your life) take charge of your health and well-being — one small step at a time.
History
The idea of dedicating a whole month to men’s health came from a simple realization — guys don’t go to the doctor enough. True story. Men are less likely than women to seek preventive care or talk openly about mental health.
So, in 1994, Congress officially recognized June as Men’s Health Month, thanks to organizations like the Men’s Health Network. It was a much-needed wake-up call to start breaking the silence around men’s health.
And you know what? It worked. Over the years, this movement has sparked conversations, encouraged screenings, and inspired millions of guys to prioritize their well-being.

Whether it’s about jogging, eating better, or just finally booking that doctor’s appointment you’ve been avoiding, this month is your chance to do better.
How To Celebrate
1. Get Active – Even a Little Bit Helps
Start by jogging in your neighborhood or doing a few push-ups during TV commercials. Fitness doesn’t have to be intense.
2. Book That Checkup
Seriously, go see your doctor. Even if you feel “fine,” a routine check can prevent major problems down the road.
3. Eat Like You Mean It
Swap one greasy meal a week for something healthier. Maybe a grilled chicken salad? (Add bacon if you must.)
4. Hydrate Like a Boss
Drink more water. Your kidneys will thank you. Your skin might glow. You may even feel less tired.
5. Talk It Out
Mental health is just as important as physical health. Talk to someone. A friend. A therapist. Your dog. Just talk.
6. Encourage Other Guys
Start a group jog. Join a fitness challenge. Share your progress. Be the reason someone else starts caring about their health.

Importance
1. Book a Checkup (You’ve Been Avoiding It, Right?)
Let’s be real — most guys wait until something’s broken to see a doctor. This month, flip the script.
Even if you feel fine, get your blood pressure, cholesterol, and prostate levels checked. It’s all part of living a healthy life.
2. Start Moving – Jogging Counts!
Physical activity is the secret sauce to better health. Start small — try jogging, biking, walking the dog, or chasing your kids.
Anything that gets your heart going counts as fitness taking care of yourself.
3. Upgrade Your Fuel
You don’t need to give up everything you love. Just make small food swaps.
Try grilled over fried, water over soda, or fruit instead of chips (at least once). Your body will notice.
4. Talk About Mental Health
Let’s break the “silent man” stereotype. Mental health is a huge part of overall health.
Chat with a buddy, a therapist, or just start journaling. It’s not weird — it’s strong.
6. Support the Men in Your Life
Not every man is comfortable taking the first step. Encourage your dad, brother, son, or friend to make a doctor’s appointment or go for a walk.
Sometimes, a little nudge is all it takes.
