Men’s Health Month
HEALTHY TIPS FOR MEN
Sleep Well
Adults need between 7-9 hours of sleep. Insufficient sleep
has been linked to the development and management of
a number of chronic diseases and conditions including
diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity and depression.
Tame your Stress
STRESS
The best way to manage stress is through self-care. Avoid
drugs, alcohol and Tobacco. Participate in activities you enjoy.
Move More
Adults need at least 2 and a half hours of moderate-
intensity aerobic activity every week.
Stay on Top of Your Game
See your doctor or nurse regularly for checkups. Certain
diseases and conditions may not have symptoms. Checkups
can help identify issues early or before they become a problem.
Pay attention to signs and symptoms such as chest pain, shortness
of breath, excessive thirst, and problems with urination.
My name is Hannah Glaser and I recently
joined the Community Health team as a
Community Health Advocate. I graduated
from Oregon State University with a B.S. in
Public Health in Fall 2017. I have experience
working at the Oregon State University
Women’s Center, where I organized a variety
of events related to the topic of feminism. I
also interned with Planned Parenthood, where I provided sexual
health education to youth. I am excited for this opportunity to
work directly with people and I am hoping to make a difference
within the community! In my spare time, I enjoy hiking in the Cor-
vallis area and I love to read realistic fiction books.
