My Birthday Request On Men's Health Night

I normally do not get personal here. But today is my birthday - which not only is in November when many men's health issues are in the forefront , but coincidentally falls on November 21 which happens to be Men's Health Night. So I will say that my one wish is that all men would this year, and every year, get a regular check up at the doctor. The first Men's Health Night - in 2010 - was on a Blue Moon and so they claimed the more manly color of blue as their badge to promote that men do not go to the Dr. 'once in a blue moon' but go every year.

This is my 150th post at Well-Met, a special post number and also being on my birthday. In the past year I have kept up my goal of regularly positing here about men's wellness - physical and mental health, volunteerism and charity, manners and style.  I have more goals that I have not gotten to, but with the accomplishments I have made in the past year (including participating in National Novel Writing Month where I wrote 50,000 words in a month) I know I can do it.

Anyway, back to that birthday thing. Last year was a 'bigger' one, a milestone number, but this one means more to me because of what the past year has been. I hope that I have inspired even a few men to do something about their own or another's health, and so this year as stated my wish is that all men commit to getting a check up.

And yes, I had my check up this past year, and all is fine with me. How you doin'?

City Lights Cans Water. Why its better than bottles.

You may have seen the new trend for packaged water with brands like Liquid Death. Now a local brewery, City Lights Brewery , is getting in on the act. Except its not just an act, its not some fad, there are reasons to can vs. bottle water. Good reasons.

Make Men's Health Month About You

The month of November is (one of the) Men's Health Month(s), popularized by the Movember movement. (June is another recognized annual event but since it is November now, November it is.) It's a great foundation, it has been successful and is highly rated for its impact. But, one thing I see with the movement is that while they speak about men's health to the participants, I feel the participants themselves promote it outwardly rather than inward, at them. I personally fell victim to that selfsame issue, but no longer. As of this November, I am taking care of myself.
