Shining a Light on Men’s Health: November, A Month of Empowerment
Here at Moose Jaw Family Services, we understand the profound significance of November to individuals around the world. It’s a month where we come together to support the men in our lives during Men’s Health Month. November holds diverse meanings for different people, but, as a man writing this, two pivotal aspects come to mind: Remembrance Day, which honors our family members who bravely fought in World War II, and Men’s Health. This month, we celebrate survivors and stand in solidarity with those still battling testicular cancer while also remembering those we’ve lost.
November has transformed into “Movember” for many, and you might wonder about this change. It’s because men across the globe grow mustaches in support of men’s health. Specifically, the movement seeks to raise awareness for men facing challenges like testicular cancer, prostate cancer, and men’s mental health. With the odds of getting testicular cancer standing at approximately 1 in 270 men, the chances are high that you know someone in your life—a father, uncle, brother, cousin, or friend—dealing with this condition. Men grow mustaches to spark conversations about men’s health, reaching more people each year.

The Importance of Foot Care
Our often-overlooked feet serve as the unsung heroes of our daily lives, tirelessly propelling us through each step of our journey. Prioritizing foot care is essential. Maintaining properly trimmed and cared-for toenails is key to reducing the risk of infection, skin complications, and discomfort. Engaging a Registered Nurse (RN) for foot assessments and care enhances mobility, comfort, and safeguards against common issues such as blisters, ingrown toenails, and fungal problems. These simple measures ensure that our dependable feet continue to support us through life’s adventures, ultimately promoting a healthier, more comfortable, and pain-free existence.
Saw Palmetto: Nature’s Prostate Protector
Are there individuals avoiding activities involving prolonged sitting, intimacy loss, or frequent bathroom breaks? This may result from benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), a common urological issue in aging men. As men age, the prostate gland, vital for male reproductive function, can grow from a walnut-sized organ in their twenties to a kiwi-sized one in their sixties and beyond. This enlarged prostate exerts pressure on the bladder, causing increased urination urges, and constricts the urethra, hindering urine flow. Saw palmetto, along with plant sterols, vitamins B6 and D3, selenium, and zinc, is a popular natural remedy for prostate health, often recommended.
Are you a Hot Head?
Don’t let anger fester! It causes chronic stress and frequent headaches. Also, when you finally explode, you end up saying hurtful things. Look for the deeper meaning behind your anger. For example, if you’re mad because your boss pays more attention to your coworkers, analyze your feelings. Maybe you’re tired of the job and want a way out. Finally, if you’re stuck in a situation that’s making you angry, mentally step back, and pretend you’re an observer. Find good ways to release your anger: Talk about it, or choose calm, solitary activities, meditate, take a long walk or a hot bath.
