What is Movember?


Movember is all about growing, maintaining, and keeping a mustache to bring awareness of Men's health and to prevent suicide. Although, Movember is about Men's physical and mental health; Women can participate by encouraging their husband, boyfriend, or partner to grow a mustache. Mustaches are grown to begin a conversation about certain cancers such as breast cancer in men. Also, prostate cancer is a difficult subject to discuss with their wife, girlfriend, or partner. Nevertheless, growing a mustache is an easy way to start a conversation about preventing certain cancers and preventing suicide in men.

Furthermore, as a woman, you can encourage him to wear light blue and to grow a mustache. Do not make him feel embarrassed or pressured to discuss his health. Encourage him to get screened for Prostate Cancer and Breast Cancer. As well as eating balanced meals together and encouraging exercise. Although National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is in September; You can motivate your husband, boyfriend, or partner to take care of their health and not neglect it.
