Do you like to look at Breasts or Prostates? – Movember Challenge

Take a look at Scott’s Moustache.
Let's Fight Cancer!

I have nothing against female breasts. In fact, I am an unabashed fan.  Any and all breast sizes are super sexy.

We see all sorts of Breast related advertising. Even in round about ways.  For example, in October, the National Football League did all sorts of campaigns to support Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Now, there is nothing sexy about cancer, but saving breasts that is a worthy cause we all can cheer for.

After thinking about it, I wondered Where is the prostate marketing?  Companies don’t try to sell you their game, clothing, beer, or service with prostates. Another example, We eat chicken Breasts.  We don’t eat chicken Prostates.

I don’t ever want to look at them and definitely will not eat them, but I think Prostates are worth saving too.

Seriously, though.  For the month of November, I joined the Movember movement.

“Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache.”

Yes, I am growing a moustache and accepting donations to help science research for Men’s Health issues such as prostate cancer.

I’m doing this because many of my relatives have had to fight cancer, and I know it is a scary predicament to fight. By bringing awareness, hopefully Science Research and Faith can help us prevent future generations from experiencing the cancer plight.

Now, the odds are stacked against us.  You are probably fighting cancer right now!

  • 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime.

According to the Mayo clinic,  there are some concrete steps we can take now to help our bodies fight cancer.

  1. Choose a healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables.
  2. Choose healthy foods over supplements.
  3. Exercise most days of the week.
  4. Maintain a healthy weight.
  5. Talk to your doctor if you think you have an increased risk of cancer.

Whether you like to look at Breasts or Prostates, both cancers are worth fighting.
