May 16, 2017 mdhomehealthadmin Active Living, Healthy Eating, Senior Lifestyle Comments Off on The Benefits of Exercise and an Active Lifestyle , , , , , ,

May is National Sports and Physical Fitness month. Now is a great time to spread awareness of the many benefits provided by engaging in an active lifestyle. Many Americans don’t get enough exercise in their day to day lives. An active lifestyle can improve your mood, promote social interaction and even increase the longevity of your life. If you are someone who is not getting enough physical activity, here are a few reasons why now is great time to make some positive changes in your life.

Make Small Changes

Don’t set yourself up for failure when starting to make changes to your lifestyle. It’s not always easy to break out of comfort zones. Set small goals first, and make small accomplishments. Encourage family and friends to join in your physical activity, like taking a walk together or going for a bike ride. Getting active is a great way to build lasting friendships and build a sense of community. Communities can work together to create opportunities for everyone to be lead a more active lifestyle.

Improved Heart Health

Heart disease and stroke are leading causes of death in the United States. However, just two and half hours per week of moderate aerobic workout can improve you heart’s health and lower your risk for cardiovascular disease and stroke. Maintaining a regular active lifestyle can also improve your blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Improved Mood and Mental Health

Regular physical activity can reduce the risk of depression. It can also help keep your cognition skills sharp as you age. Sharper motor skills can reduce the risk for falls and injuries. An active lifestyle can help boost endorphin production in the brain, resulting in a happier mood. An active lifestyle can even help you sleep better naturally as well.

Control your Weight

Scientific evidence shows that physical activity can help manage weight gain over time. The exact amount of physical activity varies from person to person. However, an average of 150 minutes per week of moderate aerobic exercise and a healthy balanced diet is a great recipe to manage caloric intake and manage your weight.

There are many health benefits of exercise, and even more creative ways to engage in some form of physical activity. Even for individuals who are home bound or have physical limitations, Phoenix home health care professionals provide a variety of in home physical therapy and training.

7 Ways Gardening Can Extend Your Life

April 15, 2017 mdhomehealthadmin Active Living, Senior Lifestyle Comments Off on 7 Ways Gardening Can Extend Your Life , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

In honor of April being National Garden Month, and this beautiful spring weather, we’d like to share some of the amazing health benefits gardening can bring into your life. Gardening is so healthy that it could, in fact, add years your life. Here are some of our favorite health benefits one can gain from the healthy hobby of gardening.

Improves Brain Health and Reduces Alzheimer’s Risk

A study conducted on the long-term effects of gardening on the brain found that daily gardening was the single most effective activity in reducing the prevalence of dementia by 36-47%. This is likely due to the various health benefits the act of gardening brings, such as increased strength, endurance, learning, dexterity, sensory function and problem solving skills.

Improves Self-Esteem and Lowers Stress

There was a Dutch study conducted that showed the cortisol (stress hormone) levels of those who gardened for 30 minutes, vs. those who read for 30 minutes. The study found that those who gardened for 30 minutes had much lower cortisol levels, and much higher self-esteem levels than those who read.

Reduces Risk for Stroke and Increases Heart Health

A study conducted in Stockholm found that regular gardening reduced the risk for stroke in those over the age of 60 by 30%. For those who may have physical difficulties or need home health care, bending or leaning over to garden may present some problems. This is an easy fix through incorporating raised garden beds. It is also a healthy idea to expose your skin to the sun without sunscreen for 10-15 minutes per day in order to absorb your daily dose of Vitamin D. This is another factor in reducing heart disease and other issues associated with heart health. It’s also best to conduct gardening sessions in smaller time segments than doing it all at once, as sitting is another cause for poor heart health.

Reduced Depression Symptoms and Improved Mental Health

There are a variety of factors associated with gardening that can help stimulate one’s mental health. These factors include physical activity, sunlight, being surrounded by nature, the satisfaction one gets from a job well done, and the cognitive stimulation it provides. For the best mental health benefits associated with gardening, keep a garden that has a balanced mix of plants to nourish all of the senses, such as food-producing plants, flowers for visual appeal and nicely scented plants.

Regulates the Immune System

The immune system is elevated due to the Vitamin D absorption gardening brings. It is also boosted when one decides to forego the gardening gloves, and get their hands dirty. Gardening dirt contains nutrient bacteria or “Mycobacterium vaccae”. This bacterium has shown to improve common symptoms of a weak immune system, such as asthma, allergies and psoriasis.

Better Nutrition

There’s nothing healthier than growing your own vegetables. So long as you use healthy soil, lay off the pesticides, and eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables from your garden when they are ripe, you will be greatly increasing your health on numerous levels. It’s also a cost-effective solution to purchasing expensive organic produce at your local store, farmer’s market, or co-op.

Being Surrounded by Green Plants Adds Years to Your Life

It’s no secret that being surrounded by nature and green spaces can benefit our physical and mental health.  A couple of studies conducted by the CDC and Michigan State University found that small increases of 10% in green space surrounding a person’s location of home could increase their life by a number of years.

This just goes to show how important gardening and being outdoors in nature is for our well-being. If you’d like more information on health care in Phoenix, finding a caregiver to assist you in gardening, or getting more active outdoors, we are here for you.  For more information on our services, experience, or rates, call (602) 396-5742 or fill out our contact form.

8 Ways Pets Improve Our Health

April 11, 2017 mdhomehealthadmin Articles Comments Off on 8 Ways Pets Improve Our Health , , , , , , , ,

If you ask any pet owner who their best friend is, they just might name one or several furry little friends. Scientists, doctors, and therapists all agree that having a pet is beneficial to both your physical and mental health. Not only do pets help keep us on our toes, entertain us, bring laughter and unconditional love into our lives, but they’re also really great at providing measurable health benefits.

In honor of April being both National Pets are Wonderful and Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the folks at MD Home Health have chosen to list a few of our favorite reasons why having a pet greatly enriches life, and helps improve health.

According to the CDC, and additional research studies, owning a pet provides several health benefits such as:


• Lowers anxiety and stress
• Lowers depression
• Lowers triglyceride levels
• Lowers blood pressure
• Lowers cholesterol
• Lowers feelings of loneliness
• Increases activity and exercise
• Increases socialization

Those who need home care or companionship could greatly benefit from owning a pet. Pets are so beneficial to our health, they can become certified as assistance or therapy animals, and allowed to accompany their owners just about anywhere. Even if a pet owner is not able to exercise, or move as freely as they would like, a pet can help improve health, and assistance for pet care, or assistance from a service animal, is available through licensed Phoenix home health professionals. You may even request an assistance pet to come to your home and help with your day to day tasks.

If you’d like to celebrate the powerful healing benefits of animals this April, you may join in with attending a pet awareness event, adopting a pet, or donating to a charitable cause that either helps rescue animals, or works toward preventing cruelty to animals. You may also choose to honor the pets that you have with some special attention this much, such as trips to a park or beach, and making sure to give your pet healthy pet food. You may also want to check up on the health of your pet by making your annual veterinary visit for a check-up. Investing in your pet’s overall health and happiness will pay off in the long-run with increased health and happiness in your life as well.

If you’re interested in having someone come to your home for some companionship or assistance, or are wondering if it’s time for a home caregiver, we would be happy to help. We can have someone come to your home and give you a free consultation to identify your needs. For more information, or a detailed quote, call (619) 291-8181 or fill out our contact form. We look forward to hearing from you.

 


3 Healthy Tips to Help You Spring into Spring

March 9, 2017 mdhomehealthadmin Uncategorized Comments Off on 3 Healthy Tips to Help You Spring into Spring , , , , , , , , , , ,

Spring is in the air, and what better time than now to consider some healthy lifestyle tips to help you feel your best and enjoy the warming weather. Whether you are a professional caregiver or a person in need of Phoenix home care, a healthy lifestyle is always something to consider. It can be easy and fun to start new healthy habits.

Sprouting

 Sprouting at home is one of the easiest and healthiest ways to start a new healthy habit. Its also fun to watch your sprouts grow and gives a sense of connection to your food. All you need to begin sprouting at home is a one quart, wide mouth mason jar and a sprouting lid, or a lid with a screen to allow water drainage and air flow.

 Many kinds of seeds, nuts and beans can be sprouted and eatable within a few short days. Sprouting actually increases the nutrition of the food by activating the germination process. Mung beans, broccoli seeds, alfalfa and radish seeds are healthy and easy options to start with. Simply soak your beans or seeds in the jar overnight or for about 10 hours, and drain. Continue to rinse the sprouts twice a day, and try to spread them in an even layer horizontally in the jar. Within a few days you will notice the seeds begin to germinate. Most sprouts are ideal to consume within 3-7 days, and can last even longer when stored in the fridge.

Eating Organic Fruits and Vegetables

 Another healthy home tip to consider is buying organic fruits and vegetables when possible. Many common fruits and vegetables that are conventionally grown contain trace amounts of pesticides, even after being washed. There is a list known as the Dirty Dozen that addresses foods with the highest risk of pesticide contamination. These foods should be purchased as certified USDA Organic when possible to avoid exposure to toxic chemicals. There is also a list known as the Clean Fifteen that addresses foods with the lowest risk of contamination, and can be purchased conventionally grown. Organic food is often times more expensive than conventionally grown, but the high quality and safety of organic food is a powerful investment to make in your personal health.

Fun in The Sun

 Don’t forget to get outside and enjoy those sunny days! Before the heat of summer sets in, take advantage of the great outdoors. Our bodies benefit from exposure to direct sunlight in small doses. When exposed to direct sunlight, our skin produces vitamin D, beta-endorphins which elevate our mood, nitric oxide which can lower blood pressure, and host of other chemicals that aren’t taken in with a vitamin D supplement. You can start with ten to fifteen minutes of unprotected sun exposure per day. After that, it is recommended to use sunblock or cover up with hats, long sleeves and pants. If you are someone who needs assistance with getting in and out of the house, our Phoenix home health care professionals would be happy to assist you in having some fun in the sun and enjoying the outdoors.

Everyone can benefit from healthy lifestyle habits. These are just a few examples of ways to start feeling your best to enjoy the Spring weather. This month, March, is National Nutrition Month, so there’s no better time to get healthy than now.  For more information on health tips or our services, experience, or rates, call (602) 396-5742, or fill out our contact form. We look forward to serving you.


March is National Nutrition Month

March 1, 2017 mdhomehealthadmin Active Living, Caregiver Information, Healthy Eating Comments Off on March is National Nutrition Month , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

March is National Nutrition Month, which is an education and information campaign created annually by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. This year’s theme strives to help people manage their weight successfully and reduce their risk of chronic disease while promoting general health. Consuming fewer calories, getting daily exercise and making educated food choices are part of this year’s goals. There are many easy ways to engage in a healthy lifestyle.

Cut the Calories Without Going Hungry

 Cutting down on calories is an easy way to feel better and prevent unnecessary weight gain. There is more to reducing caloric intake than just simply  “eating less.” Making simple choices in what foods you eat is easier than depraving yourself from eating. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables over processed snacks and red meat is a healthy way to cut calories. Snacking on fruit before every meal is a great way to reduce cravings and eat more sensibly at meal time. Try an apple 15 minutes before lunch to curb a ravenous appetite.

Daily Exercise

 Daily exercise is important for a healthy cardiovascular system. Elevating your heart rate for 20 to 30 minutes a day is a clinically researched way to promote heart health. If you are someone who needs home assistance, one of our processional caregivers would be glad to assist you with an exercise routine. Strengthening therapy is just one of many medical services provided by our Phoenix home health care professionals.

 Informed Decisions

 Making educated food choices is important to a healthy lifestyle. Make sure to know your body’s caloric and nutritional needs by talking to your doctor or a health care professional. Eating organic food is a great way to provide wholesome nutrition to your body without the risk of contamination from toxic pesticides. Eating a plant based diet is also a great way to cut down on calories and give your body the nutrition it needs. Cut down on processed and packaged foods and stick to the ones that can be found at local farmers’ market.

Cutting calories, daily exercise and making informed decisions when buying food are all stepping stones to a healthy lifestyle. The food we eat is directly connected to how we feel and the health of our bodies. Let this National Nutritional Month be an inspiration to start some new healthy habits.

Eating Healthy by Season With the Help of a Phoenix Home Care Professional

August 9, 2016 mdhomehealthadmin Active Living, Caregiver Information, Healthy Eating, Hiring a Caregiver, Seasonal/Holiday, Senior Lifestyle Comments Off on Eating Healthy by Season With the Help of a Phoenix Home Care Professional , , , , , , , , ,

Eating Healthy by Season (Small)When you require assistance at home, you may benefit from a variety of non-medical services. These services might include help with basic housekeeping tasks, grocery shopping, and getting errands done. One of the most common needs that a Phoenix home care professional may fulfill is to assist a client with meal preparation.

Eating healthfully all year long is crucial to maintaining a state of good physical, mental, and emotional health. In fact, the potential for developing a chronic disease increases as a result of unhealthy eating habits. If you hire a home care worker to help you with planning your meals, you may want to discuss a schedule of healthy meal plans for every season.

Why Eat According to the Season?

Eating fresh, healthy foods based on the season is a great way to support your overall health. When you consume local foods as much as possible, you are also supporting your community – which ultimately benefits everyone in the area. Cooking fresh, local foods enables you to enjoy a variety of highly nutritional items during every season.

Healthy Fall and Winter Recipes

Fall and winter offer an abundance of opportunities to create delicious, healthful meals. Some examples of fall and winter foods include cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, squash, and pumpkin. You and your home care worker might devise hundreds of meals based on healthy fall and winter recipes. Such recipes could include chicken breasts sautéed with mushrooms, hearty pumpkin soup, and “pasta” made from squash (this can be easily created with an inexpensive kitchen gadget that spiralizes vegetables). Other recipes you might enjoy in the fall and winter months are roasted cauliflower, oatmeal blended with figs and ricotta cheese, and freshly squeezed orange juice.

Healthful Spring and Summer Fare

Springtime and summertime bring a bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables that may be savored via a wealth of nutritious recipes. The foods of the warmer months include strawberries, tomatoes, spinach, watermelon, and zucchini. Recipe ideas might include whole-grain pasta topped with fresh spring vegetables (such as artichoke, asparagus, and even dandelion greens), green salad with tomatoes, and smoothies made with blackberries, raspberries, and fresh pineapple juice. If you have access to an indoor or outdoor grill and some assistance, you could grill chicken, eggplant, and zucchini, followed by slices of fresh mango sprinkled lightly with cinnamon.

Once you know how to plan healthy meals, eating foods that nourish you can be fun. Remember to buy organic foods whenever you have the opportunity; they may be more expensive than other options, but you won’t be exposed to the harmful chemicals found in many non-organic items. A Phoenix home health care professional may be able to advise you on making solid choices for seasonal eating. With a little help from a home care worker and some careful planning, you may indulge in the delicious possibilities that each season yields.

5 Ways You Can Give Your Summer Diet a Boost

June 21, 2016 mdhomehealthadmin Active Living, Healthy Eating, Seasonal/Holiday, Uncategorized Comments Off on 5 Ways You Can Give Your Summer Diet a Boost , , , , , , , ,

Everyone wants to look their best during the summer time, especially since most people interact a lot more during the warmer months, as opposed to the hibernating nature of winter. With all the get togethers, vacations, and outdoor activities of summer, you can expect to be seen a lot more, and to see your friends, relatives, and neighbors a lot more than you would normally during winter. Whatever kind of diet it is that you’ve chosen to prepare for summer, here are some things you can do to enhance its effectiveness, and get more out of your dieting effort.

Easy-to-do dieting boosts for summer

Each of these five dieting boosts can help dramatically increase the effectiveness of your dieting. By coupling these recommendations with careful food selection, you should achieve results much faster than if you are only dieting without these helpful aids.

  • Include powerful fat burners – eating the right foods is great for avoiding more pounds, but what about the fat you already have on your body? These substances can help burn away fat and slim you down for summer: caffeine from coffee, green tea extract from green teas, yohimbe which operates on the most stubborn fat reserves, hoodia gardonii which controls hunger pangs, oats, nuts, and 7-Keto which increases your metabolic rate.
  • Take advantage of summer foods – there are lots more fresh fruits and vegetables available in summer, especially at Farmers’ Markets,healthy eating, dieting, vegetarian food and people concept - cl roadside stands, and in co-operatives that sell shares on produce. These foods are great for filling you up, so you won’t be tempted to eat other foods which may have far less nutritive value for you, and encourage you to keep eating because you’re not satisfied.
  • Increase your activity level – with nice weather and long hours of daylight, you have no excuse for not exercising a lot more, even if it’s not a formal program. Activities such as jogging, walking, hiking, playing golf, swimming, working in the garden, mowing the lawn, and others can all boost your metabolism and burn fat. Plus, when you’re active, you don’t usually get as hungry as when you’re sitting around the house, thinking about your next meal.
  • Drink lots of water – this is something you might do anyway, but by making a conscious effort to drink more water, you’ll not only be helping your digestive system, but you’ll be making yourself feel more full, and not as tempted to eat larger meals. It’s a good idea to precede each meal with a largeglass of water for this very reason – so there’s just not as much room in your stomach for other goodies.
  • Keep yourself motivated – it’s very important to keep yourself motivated for dieting, because it’s very easy to miss a day or two and end up chucking the whole effort. Try posting a picture of yourself on the refrigerator in your favorite bikini, or for men, hang up a pair of summer shorts you used to fit into, so that it’s visible every day. If this doesn’t work for you, invite a friend to diet along with you, so you can each act as the other’s support during the process.

 

Professional dietary help

People requiring home health care in Phoenix can avail themselves of the non-medical services of MD Home Health and still diet in their own way to achieve better health, whether you are a senior, a physically disabled person, or even a non-adult. In some ways, you might even be more successful, since you’ll have a professional monitoring your diet program while providing expert home health care services.


5 Ways to Stay Active and Healthy as a We Age

May 24, 2016 mdhomehealthadmin Active Living, Articles, Senior Lifestyle Comments Off on 5 Ways to Stay Active and Healthy as a We Age , , , , ,

Just about everyone is aware of the importance of staying active as a we age, as it is so important to our overall health and well-being. One of the difficulties associated with that however, is that the body itself is constantly slowing down as we age, which means staying active requires a real effort to get up and about; overcoming the natural tendency to relax.

Here are five tried-and-true components of active, healthy living, using examples that everyone, even seniors, can easily manage and derive great benefit from. If there are some aspects of these suggestions which you just aren’t up to, some home health care assistance may even be an option for filling in some of the gaps.

Light cardiovascular

There’s a tremendous value in cardiovascular workouts, because they increase the heart rate and blood flow,  strengthen the heart muscle, and improves respiratory processes. If you have access to a swimming pool, swimming or water aerobics are great ways to use all the muscles in the body, and if not, a brisk walk in the morning can get your heart pumping. Depending on how fit you are, you might also try hiking, biking, golf, or tennis; all of which are excellent cardiovascular activities.

Regular stretching

Because flexibility decreases significantly as we age, muscles need regular stretching in order to retain some degree of flexibility. There are a great many terrific exercises for stretching legs, back muscles, and torso, to keep muscles from contracting and stiffening, and these should be done as often as possible to maintain and promote flexibility.

Balance training

It’s very important to incorporate even some light balance training into your active senior lifestyle, because this can be extremely helpful in avoiding falls and potentially serious injuries. Disciplines like Pilates, Yoga, and Tai Chi provide this kind of balance training, and classes like this are offered at many local fitness centers and by community organizations. If you need transportation, this could be provided through MD Home Assist.

Strength training

Strength training doesn’t have to be anything like body-building in the traditional athletic sense, but some moderate strengthening of your muscles can help you perform simple household chores much more easily, and it helps to strengthen your bones. You also don’t need any gym equipment or expensive gadgets to help you with strength training – you can use simple elastic resistance bands, ordinary pieces of furniture, and even the walls of your home to provide the resistance you need for some beneficial exercise.

Indoor/Outdoor chores and activities

Staying active and fit can happen as a by-product of doing regular household chores, both indoors and outdoors. Mowing the lawn is good walking exercise, and provides resistance to some extent. You can get great benefits from scrubbing some part of the house, cleaning out a shed, doing laundry, or re-organizing the basement.

When you have chores done for the day, why not hook up with peers for dancing, walking, bocce ball, or some organized activities? If you can keep your active lifestyle full of enjoyable and fun things to do, there is a much greater chance that you’ll continue the activities regularly, and make it a built-in part of your healthy lifestyle.

Assistance with your active lifestyle

Sometimes a little assistance is all that’s needed in order for you to maintain an active lifestyle, and you require some home health care, such as that provided by MD Home Health/Home Assist. Services such as medication reminders, feeding, light housekeeping, healthy grocery shopping, companionship, and transportation services can add motivation, and ease the burden on you, so contact us today, and we’d love to assist in your energies to staying active and healthy.

 


5 Ways to Beat the Holiday Blues

December 7, 2015 mdhomehealthadmin Articles, Caregiver Information, Healthy Eating, Hiring a Caregiver, Seasonal/Holiday Comments Off on 5 Ways to Beat the Holiday Blues , , , , , , , , , ,

Depressed or sad woman walking down a barren path in winter

The holiday season is popularly depicted as a time full of light and joy…but beneath that attractive surface, many people are plagued with stress and sadness. Whether they come from family troubles, unpleasant memories, or the anxiety of always having something to do and somewhere to be, these seasonal doldrums are something almost everyone will experience at some point in their lives. Use these five ways to beat the holiday blues and make it to January with your head held high.

1. Take time to breathe.

If your life during the holidays seems like a whirlwind of activity, those conditions are basically a pressure cooker of stress. Try to keep everything in perspective: the world won’t stop turning if you take fifteen minutes every morning or afternoon to stop and relax. Learn some gentle yoga moves or practice mindful breathing to help yourself feel centered and calm.

2. Don’t neglect physical activity.

Too many people wait until their New Year’s resolutions kick in before they hit the gym. But why miss out on all those positive exercise endorphins during the month when you probably need them the most? You don’t need to bench press 200 pounds or run a marathon, but raising your heartbeat for 30 minutes a day will help you feel better in both body and mind.

3. If things go wrong, do your best to let them go.

A gift doesn’t ship in time for Christmas? Family drama gets out of hand? First batch of decorated cookies burn? It’s just life. Don’t allow yourself to get sucked into resentment or frustration over any of it. Being intentional about maintaining a good attitude is one of the most important things you can do to beat the holiday blues.

4. Take nutritional supplements.

The same hormonal imbalances that cause Seasonal Affective Disorder can rear their heads during the holidays. Fortunately, there are plenty of vitamins and herbs that can help perk up your mood. Take vitamin D supplements to make up for the wintertime reduction in sun exposure, B vitamins, and fish oil. Many people report that St. John’s Wort has a positive impact on depressive moods when taken regularly, and valerian root can mitigate anxiety.

5. Don’t isolate yourself

Even if you feel like crawling into bed and hibernating all winter, isolation can end up making you feel even worse. Whether that means meeting up with friends, having a trained home companion, participating in a candlelight service or holiday event, or unburdening yourself to a therapist, spending time with people you trust can have a major effect on well being.

No matter which holiday ailments may plague you this season, remember that it’s well within your power to beat the holiday blues. Just remember, it’ll all be over soon, so do your best to enjoy it while you can. Should you need some extra help or companionship around your home this season, we’re just a phone call away.

 


Throw Away Your Razor and Grow a Mo for Movember

November 16, 2015 mdhomehealthadmin Active Living, Seasonal/Holiday Comments Off on Throw Away Your Razor and Grow a Mo for Movember , , , , , ,

 

What Exactly is Movember?

No, it’s not a misspelling of November. Movember is a coined word made up of November and a contraction of the word for moustache, mo. Also labeled No-Shave November, it’s a yearly event (since 2003) which encourages men to throw away their razors and grow beards and/or moustaches. All this hirsuteness is aimed at raising the profile of men’s health issues, such as mental illness, depression, prostate, testicular and other cancers. When he becomes hairier, a man is entitled to be called a Mo Bro.

So men, will you grow your ’stache out this November? Maybe you’ve always wanted a beard or a moustache but have never had the courage to grow one. Well here’s the chance to make yourself more handsome – you too could look like Tom Selleck.

Why is it Good to Forego the Clean-Shaven Look?

Too many men suffer from mental illness. According to data released on Movember’s website, over three-quarters of all suicides in the US are men. And, of course, this is something most men won’t talk about. This stigma needs to go and Movember is helping to get rid of it.

If you haven’t participated in Movember before, it’s not difficult. Just enjoy a fresh shave at the beginning of the month (if you’re a little late, that’s no problem) and sign up for an account. Then, talk to your family, friends and co-workers about men’s health and ask for contributions.

Ladies, You Can Help

No, you aren’t expected to grow a moustache! If you lend a helping hand to the man in your life, you become a Mo Sista. Women are naturally concerned about the health of the men in their lives, and everyone knows that wives are the Chief Medical Officers for their families, encouraging their husbands and sons when they drag their feet over going to see a doctor. Besides, kissing a man with hair on his upper lip may make you appreciate all of the smooth months – so hide his razor and join in. 

Single ladies, Movember is a great way to meet men who like to give back – it’s better than on-line dating. You can join a team, attend some events and let a mo-mance begin.. It’s an a-mo-zing way to make new friends.
