This Men's Health Month we want to remind men to take charge of their health by making healthy choices. Men have a 41% higher overall mortality rate than women, and are at a higher risk for eight of the ten leading causes of death, including heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes. Men also have a life expectancy of 76.1 years, compared to women's average of 81.1 years. (Indiana University School of Medicine). That's why it's imperative for men to stay active and healthy earlier! Learn how HUSK can help your organization create a wellness program that best fits your population: https://bit.ly/3z5sOkL

March is #Paws4MentalHealth! The ability of domesticated animals to absorb people’s attention in non-threatening ways and to elicit pro-social behaviour and positive affect may serve as an emotional bridge to mediate interactions in therapeutic contexts. Studies have shown that interaction with animals can improve cardiovascular health, help manage stress, increase physical activity, help retain health and mobility with aging and encourage engagement with new people. Thus, integrating animals as part of the holistic care plan provides a unique therapeutic benefit to patients and families.

February 2, 2024 is Wear Red for Women’s Heart Health Day ❤️ “February is American Heart Month, a time when all people—especially women—are encouraged to focus on their cardiovascular health. This Heart Month, the Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention (DHDSP) is encouraging women to listen to their hearts and speak up for their health. Women in the United States are experiencing unacceptable and avoidable heart-related illness and death, and nearly half of U.S. women do not recognize that heart disease is the leading cause of death for women.1 DHDSP aims to shed light on this important topic so that women no longer experience delayed recognition, diagnosis, and treatment for cardiac events, such as heart attacks.2 Heart-health disparities specific to women widen and deepen when combined with race, ethnicity, and other social factors.3 We encourage individuals, health care and public health professionals, and our partners to help close the disparities gap.” ❤️ (Credit/Reference: CDC.GOV) NaSah’s Nurture Nature supports National Wear Red Day for Women’s Heart Health.🫀❤️🌻
