Health Note During Men s Health Month, the Chronic Disease Prevention Program is working to raise awareness of men s health and lifestyle choices, because most men, do little to improve their health. Very much like moms, dads have many things to worry about too. They worry about doing well at work or at school and about caring and providing a good life for their families. However, when the worry becomes too much and stress levels are overwhelming, this can lead to poor decisions and bad habits, such as bad diets, smoking or drinking too much, trouble sleeping, trouble expressing emotions or frustration, and other risky behaviors. Compared to women, men are more likely to: Smoke Drink alcohol Make unhealthy or risky choices Put off regular checkups and medical care A healthy lifestyle is possible for everyone, men and women, but it will take a village! It is expected that men, at retiring age, will be in much poorer health than women. For anyone looking to avoid being part of this statistic, it s important to take action. No matter your age, schedule your check-ups and see your doctor regularly. Take the fi rst step and schedule your fi rst appointment today! Statistics show that men are victims of over 92% of all workplace deaths. Safety and healthy habits work together to keep you well. Remember to use protective gear and to follow workplace guidelines. It s also important to eat well and take rest periods. Pack healthy lunch options, eat meals on a regular schedule and take advantage of your break periods to go out for a walk or to get some fresh air. Also, be a safe driver and avoid distractions. Using a cell phone or eating while driving increases the risk of accidents. In almost 1 out of every 5 accidents (17%) where there were injuries, were caused by a distracted driver. Stay safe and pave a healthy road ahead for your boys and children by becoming a good role model. To get the whole family involved, you can start by visiting a fun event, such as a community health fair. It s a great way for the family to learn more about health and wellness to help the dads and boys in the family. For example, visit the Men s Health Fair coming up on June 25th at the Ventura College Marketplace, from 8:00 a.m. 1:00 p.m. Support efforts that encourage boys to grow up to be healthy men like their dads!

junio 2016 Nota para Su Salud Durante El Mes De La Salud Del Hombre, El Programa Preventivo de Enfermedades Crónicas, trabaja para concientizar sobre la salud y los estilos de vidas más saludables, porque muchos hombres hacen poco para mejorar su salud. Tal como las mamás, los papás también se preocupan de muchas cosas. Se preocupan de hacer bien en el trabajo o en la escuela y del cuidar y proveer una buena vida para su familia. Pero cuando la preocupación es demasiada y los niveles de estrés son abrumadores, puede empujarle a tomar malas decisiones y malos hábitos tales como, malos hábitos de alimentación, fumar y beber demasiado, difi cultad al dormir, difi cultad de expresar sus emociones y frustraciones, y otros hábitos que ponen a riesgo su salud. Comparados a las mujeres, los hombres están más dispuestos a: Fumar Beber alcohol Tomar las decisiones menos saludables y de riesgo No ir a sus chequeos regulares y no atenderse con un médico. Una vida saludable es posible para todos, hombres y mujeres, pero toma el esfuerzo de todo un pueblo! Se espera que los hombres a la edad del tiempo del retiro estarán en un estado de salud más pobre que las mujeres. Para cualquiera que desee evitar ser parte de esta estadística, es importante tomar acción. No importe cual sea su edad, haga una cita para sus chequeos y vea a su doctor con regularidad. Tome el primer paso y haga su primera cita hoy! Las estadísticas nos dicen que los hombres son víctimas de más del 92% de las muertes en el trabajo. Recuerde usar el equipo de protección y de seguir todas las guías que le pidan en el trabajo. También es importante comer bien y tomar periodos de descanso. Prepare almuerzos con opciones saludables, coma a un horario regular y aproveche de los descansos para salir a caminar o respirar aire libre. También, sea un buen conductor y evite las distracciones. El usar el celular o comer al manejar aumentan los riesgos de chocar. Casi 1 de cada 5 choques (17%) donde hubo heridos, fueron por causa de un conductor distraído. No se convierta en una estadística más. Guie un camino saludable para sus hijos y sea usted el ejemplo a seguir. Para incluir a toda la familia, puede comenzar por visitar un evento divertido, tal cómo una feria de salud en su comunidad. Es una buena manera para que la familia aprenda más acerca de la salud y el bienestar de los papás y los niños varones en la familia. Por ejemplo, visite la próxima Feria De Salud Para El Hombre, el sábado 25 de junio en el Colegio de Ventura, de las 8 a.m. a la 1 p.m. Apoye un crecimiento saludable en los niños para que crezcan sanos como sus papás!
