June is Men's Health Month! This week we are giving you some tips on things you can do to be proactive about your health. This article goes more in-depth about different aspects you can improve health-wise.
Blood Pressure

It is very important to break this habit and go in for yearly checkups to ensure you are in tip-top health. One of the most important things to keep an eye on is your blood pressure because high blood pressure can be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
