NORTHERN PLANNER

There’s loads of stuff to find out from National Men’s Health Week. For example, men, are more likely to die from skin cancer because they refer themselves too late. In general, men don’t take health as seriously as women, as they’re mentally programmed to take more risks. That said, much illness is gender specific according to the Men’s Health Forum. Women are more likely to suffer from depression and connective tissue problems, while men are more likely to have circulatory problems and developmental disorders such as Tourette’s syndrome.
