June is Men's Health Month. Did you know heart disease is the No. 1 killer of men, followed by cancer, injuries, and stroke?

The Men's Health Network has compiled this and other noteworthy facts that may motivate men to make sure they are healthy in all ways, including their hearts:

•  FACT: Men die at higher rates than women from the top 10 causes of death and are the victims of over 92% of workplace deaths. In 1920, women lived, on average, one year longer than men. Now men, on average, die almost six
  years earlier than women. (CDC)
  
• SILENT HEALTH CRISIS: "There is a silent health crisis in America...it’s that fact that, on average, American men live sicker and die younger than American women.” ~Dr. David Gremillion, Men’s Health Network
  
• PREVENTION: Women are 100% more likely to visit the doctor for annual examinations and preventive services
  than men.
