June 11-17, 2007 is National Men's Health Week. The goal of the week is to urge men to be more aware of their own health and to increase the awareness of men's health issues. The primary theme of the observance is health prevention and early detection of such diseases as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, heart disease and mental health disturbances. Studies show that men are much less aware of health related issues than are women. Supporters of National Men's Health Week say that men can start down the road to better health by simply scheduling a physical exam with their doctor and dentist.
