What’s with the moustaches? More than just a fun facial hair trend, Movember – which runs through the entire months of November – is an annual event intended to raise awareness for men's health. Men all over the world choose to step up and grow a moustache throughout the month, encouraging early detection and awareness in support of prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and suicide prevention.
Why? On average, life expectancy for men is six years shorter than for women. Testicular cancer is the most prevalent cancer amongst younger men, and Prostate cancer affects one in every nine men over the course of their lives, and the number of these cases is expected to almost by 2030. When it comes to mental health, it’s estimated that one man dies of suicide every minute of every day.
Ultimately, the aim of the movement is to encourage men to take more of an active role in monitoring their physical and mental health. So, what can we do to participate and support this cause? In addition to growing a ‘mo’ and donating to the official Movember registered charity, we can simply encourage the men in our lives to lead healthy, active, and mindful lifestyles. Here are 5 products we love that can support men's health.
