How to increase interest in the prostate

Whether you're checking the popularity of cars and golf versus the prostate on Reddit or on Google's Keyword trend search, we can clearly see that prostate health is low on everyone's radar. How do we get more people to include the prostate when addressing better health? Here are some fun ideas as a way to start:

Charity
We've heard of Charity Basketball games. Well that's not a bad place to start! If the event gets sponsorship from men's health support organizations or if the theme of the event is men's health, then we're heading one step in the right direction. Not a big fan of basketball? There are a multitude of ideas for charity or fundraising events: Poker Night, Run/Walk, Golf, Talent Show, Dance, Party, etc. They don't have to be fancy affairs, either. Something small in your local community center, church, or park is another idea. Meeting in a public space or cafe to reduce venue costs and ensure that more of the money raised goes to the men's health cause you are advocating for is also not a bad idea. With the power of word of mouth and social media at your disposal, you can spread the word and maybe even end up going viral for your efforts! You just never know.

Social Media
If more people speak up about a topic, it starts to trend. Notice how every year Movember is a thing? Well it doesn't just have to be Movember, though that's not a bad place to start. If more people put their mind to it, like the micro-influencers or thought leaders in the health space, we can get the ball rolling on raising awareness for prostate health. It's not just an old man thing. We are all ultimately affected by the health of men around us.

What say you?
