VITALIA Senior Residences® at Stow is Raising Awareness for Men’s Health Month

Men’s Health Month was created in 1992 to raise awareness of the importance of proper screenings, early detection, and obtaining regular medical advice for men and to encourage young men to implement self-care and a healthy lifestyle. Studies show a significant difference between the health of men and the health of women, as men are less likely to seek treatment for preventable diseases. 

I feel one of the main barriers to men seeking treatment is they don’t want to speak to anyone about their feelings.

A couple of simple changes that can be made to create a healthy lifestyle for men’s health are exercise and healthy eating.

Men can help improve their overall health and decrease their risk for serious diseases and illnesses by going to the doctor regularly for screening and testing, exercising, eating healthy, and by having a regular sleep schedule.

At VITALIA Senior Residences® at Stow Stow, OH, we take the health and well-being of our male residents, whether in Independent Living, Assisted Living, or Memory Care, very seriously.

Healthy lifestyles and self-care for most men start only when needed. Preventative screenings, along with regular checkups while younger, can help lead to a healthier, richer, and more enjoyable life in the later years for men.
