Men's Health - Breaking the Silence

 Men's Health Week is a globally recognised campaign that aims to raise awareness about the unique health challenges faced by men and encourages them to take proactive steps towards improving their well-being.

 This annual event, typically observed in the second week of June, serves as a reminder for men to prioritise their physical, mental, and emotional health. At Vitality CBD, we want to support men in their quests to feel better each and every day. We see Men’s Health Week as an opportunity for anybody struggling to make a decision and attempt to elevate their lives.

Understanding Men's Health

Men's health encompasses a wide range of concerns, including physical fitness, mental health, cardiovascular health, sexual health, and more. Unfortunately, many men tend to overlook or downplay these issues, often neglecting self-care and preventive measures until symptoms become severe. Men's Health Week aims to change this narrative by promoting proactive health strategies and encouraging open conversations about various health concerns.

There is nothing emasculating about self-care, particularly when it comes to mental health. According to the World Health Organisation, 115 people die by suicide in the UK every week, with 75% of those deaths being male. This abhorrent statistic is largely linked to the idea that men aren’t allowed to discuss their mental health through fear of appearing weak. As a result, a lot of men bottle up their emotions until they reach a point where they can no longer take it.

Society has long perpetuated harmful stereotypes and stigmas surrounding men, inhibiting their ability to express vulnerability, seek help, and address their mental and emotional well-being. To create a healthier and more inclusive society, it is essential to dismantle these stigmas and foster a culture of openness and support for men. 

By encouraging open conversations, promoting mental health awareness, and challenging traditional gender norms, we can create an environment where men feel empowered to seek help, express their emotions, and live authentically. Together, we can break down the barriers that restrict men and foster a society that embraces their diverse experiences and needs.

The Role of Vitality CBD

Vitality CBD has emerged as a leading brand in the CBD industry, offering a diverse range of high-quality CBD products tailored to address men's specific health needs. CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant known for its potential therapeutic benefits. It is non-psychoactive and does not produce the "high" associated with THC, another compound found in cannabis. With this being the case, there is no danger of becoming addicted to CBD products, purely because the addictive substances found in marijuana are not available in CBD-based products.

 CBD products from Vitality CBD are formulated to promote balance and well-being, helping men achieve a more balanced lifestyle. These products interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, which regulates various physiological processes, including pain perception, mood, and immune function. By supporting the endocannabinoid system, CBD can help enhance overall health.

Physical Fitness and Recovery 

Physical fitness is a cornerstone of men's health, and incorporating CBD into fitness routines can provide additional support. Vitality CBD offers CBD topicals, such as creams and balms, that can be applied directly to the skin to provide localised relief from soreness and inflammation. These products can be beneficial before and after workouts, aiding in muscle recovery and reducing exercise-induced discomfort.

Needless to say, exercising can have a positive impact on physical health, but it can also have a significant impact on mental health also. Studies have shown that partaking in physical activity can;
