Healthier men live happier, longer lives.
This June we turn our focus to Men’s Health. Did you know that men are, on average, less healthy and have a shorter life expectancy than women? This is partially because men are much less likely to visit a doctor regularly and actively participate in preventative health measures.
Visit Men’s Health Resource Center to learn more information how to identify and prevent health risks that could effect you or your loved ones.

Pain and Alcohol
People have used alcohol to relieve pain since ancient times. Laboratory studies confirm that alcohol does indeed reduce pain in humans and in animals. Moreover, recent research suggests that as many as 28 percent of people experiencing chronic pain turn to alcohol to alleviate their suffering. Despite this, using alcohol to alleviate pain places people at risk for a number of harmful health consequences.
Fabulous Fiber
Fiber is the undigested carbohydrate found in plant foods, and an essential component of a healthy diet. Though fiber is not readily digested like other foods, it provides a host of benefits: it helps us maintain regular bodily elimination; helps protect our bodies against chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes; can help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol; and can make us feel fuller longer.
