🌟 Movember: Growing a Mustache, Growing Awareness 🌟 #Movember by growing a mustache to spark conversation and raise awareness for men’s health issues. Movember isn’t just about the facial hair—it’s about bringing light to some of the toughest health challenges men face, from mental health struggles to prostate and testicular cancer. Every mustache grown this month represents a commitment to making a difference by bringing hope and by encouraging others to talk openly about their health and seek the support they need. A single conversation could make a world of difference. Let’s support each other, raise awareness, and make a lasting impact on men’s health. Here’s to the journey—one mustache at a time! #Movember2024 #MensHealth #MustacheForAMission

Movember is much more than just growing a moustache…it’s a global movement that tackles some of the biggest health issues faced by men today: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health challenges, and suicide prevention. By growing a moustache, you’re doing more than changing your look, you’re starting conversations, and breaking the stigma around men’s health, and encourage action. It’s a reminder to men everywhere to prioritize their well-being: schedule that check-up, talk about what’s on your mind, and don’t hesitate to seek help. This Movember, at INDELAGUE - ROXO LIGHTING we will wear our moustaches with pride and purpose. Together, we can inspire change and make a difference. #Movember #MensHealth #RaiseAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #ProstateCancerAwareness #indelaguegroup

Movember is more than just growing a mustache; it's about promoting longer, healthier lives for men. In the United States, men face a significant gap in life expectancy compared to women, with men dying about six years earlier on average. Heart disease and cancer stand as the leading causes of death for men, with tobacco use, unhealthy weight, and alcohol consumption ranking as the top risky behaviors. The global Movember campaign challenges men to embrace facial hair during November, aiming to raise awareness about prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health issues. Encouraging open conversations about health is a key focus, urging men to engage with healthcare providers and support each other. To support men's health, here are some essential tips: - Know your numbers and risks: Discuss prostate health with your provider, especially if you're 50 or older. Black men and those with family histories of prostate cancer are at higher risk. - Help your heart and stay active: Maintain a healthy weight, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels. Incorporate more physical activity into your daily routine. - Be aware of testicular health: Regularly check your testicles and seek medical advice if something feels unusual. - Stay connected and communicate: Regularly connect with friends, offer support during tough times, and prioritize meaningful conversations. - Seek assistance: For tobacco cessation support, reach out through various channels. If dealing with substance use or addiction, Oregon's 24/7 Alcohol & Drug Helpline offers compassionate help and local resources. For additional support, Oregon Health & Science University provides a virtual monthly support group for men impacted by prostate cancer.

Let’s talk about men’s health this November! November is Men’s Health Awareness Month, and with it comes the global campaign #Movember, dedicated to raising awareness about critical issues like prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health. Movember encourages men to grow mustaches—not just for fun, but as a powerful symbol of the importance of health prevention and regular check-ups. These small gestures remind us all about taking care of ourselves and the people around us. At Smith+Nephew we embraced this meaningful initiative by growing mustaches and sharing our progress in our internal channels.
