Get Informed – Get Screened – Get Active – Get Involved
Part of our objective is to educate men on the topics prevalent in men’s health: prostate cancer, diabetes, hypertension/high blood pressure, cholesterol, and erectile dysfunction. We cover important areas of the male anatomy and what every man should know about his body.
Our platform provides men with easy-to-follow information, facts and insights about traditional and alternative health treatments, as well as living a healthy life style. Additionally, an aspect not to be over-looked, and is critical to health, is Quality of Life: building healthy relationships and strong families.
Check out these statistics:
Prostate cancer: African American men from age 40, have the highest rate of all men with a 19% chance of being diagnosed in their lifetime. All other men combined are at 16% in their lifetime.
Diabetes 13.0 million, or 11.8% of all men aged 20 years or older, have it.
Hypertension/High Blood Pressure: 31% of all men have it.
Cholesterol - 47.7 million men age 20 and older have a total (LDL- aka bad) cholesterol level of 200 milligrams or higher.
