Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States, but it's also one of the most preventable and treatable—especially when caught early. One of the most effective ways to detect skin cancer early is by performing regular skin checks at home. Knowing what to look for and how to do a proper self-exam can help you identify changes in your skin that may need medical attention.
When we think about sun protection, sunscreen often takes center stage. But there’s another highly effective—and often overlooked—form of defense against harmful UV rays: your clothing. What you wear can make a significant difference in how much UV radiation reaches your skin. The right fabrics and designs can block UV exposure and reduce your risk of sunburn, skin aging, and skin cancer.
Walk down any skincare aisle and you're immediately met with shelves of sunscreen bottles boasting different SPFs, labels like "broad-spectrum," "water-resistant," and confusing claims that make choosing the right one feel more complicated than it should be.
We’ve all heard the advice: wear sunscreen, avoid tanning, protect your skin. But how do you actually know when UV exposure is high—and when you’re most at risk? That’s where the UV Index comes in. It's a powerful yet often overlooked tool that can help you make safer decisions when spending time outdoors.
During the summer months, we often hear reminders to wear sunscreen and protect ourselves from the sun. But why is this so important? Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can have serious consequences—not just for your skin, but for your eyes and overall health as well. As we recognize UV Safety Awareness Month this July, it’s the perfect time to explore how UV rays affect our bodies and how we can stay protected.
For too long, men’s health has taken a backseat—brushed off with phrases like “I’m fine” or delayed until symptoms become impossible to ignore. But here’s the reality: men are more likely than women to skip routine checkups, delay medical care, and die younger from preventable diseases.
Men’s Health Month, observed every June, is about changing that. It’s a time to raise awareness, start conversations, and most importantly—take action.
When it comes to health, what you don’t know can hurt you. Many men put off preventive care, often waiting until something feels “off” before seeing a doctor. But the truth is, early detection saves lives—and routine screenings are one of the most powerful tools in men’s health.
In honor of Men’s Health Month, we're highlighting the Top 5 health screenings every man should have—and when to start.
When it comes to men’s health, the focus is often on fixing problems once they arise—high blood pressure, fatigue, low testosterone, joint pain. But what if we shifted the goal from simply treating illness to living longer, healthier, and with more vitality?
In honor of Men’s Health Month, here are evidence-based strategies to boost longevity and help you feel your best for decades to come.
When it comes to men’s health, there’s one area that often gets overlooked in favor of exercise routines and supplements: nutrition. But what you eat—and how consistently you eat it—is one of the most powerful ways to influence energy, hormone balance, longevity, and overall performance.
Whether you're in your 20s or your 60s, the right nutrition strategy can help you stay sharp, strong, and resilient.
Stress doesn’t always look like what you expect. For many men, it doesn’t show up as tears or panic—it shows up as fatigue, irritability, poor sleep, low libido, or unexplained health issues.
In fact, one of the most overlooked health threats men face today is chronic stress. And it’s often silent.
As we recognize Men’s Health Month, it's time to bring this issue out of the shadows and explore how stress is affecting men’s health—and what can be done about it.
