Destigmatizing Men's Health Issues, One Laugh at a Time

    CALGARY, AB, March 14, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Twenty-eight year old Ben Samaroo never thought he'd write a book, much less a book about sensitive men's health issues. After a joke among friends inspired a hilarious love letter from a certain body part, Samaroo decided that this type of humorous approach was helpful in facilitating an open discussion about men's health, or simply reflecting on one's own health. What better way to destigmatize men's health issues and start a conversation than to create an illustrated coffee table book that elicits both laughter and conversation?

"There is hesitancy among men to ask for help," Samaroo explains. "This book is meant to bring attention to some subjects that we often find embarrassing or taboo, and to encourage men to talk openly about these subjects with their friends and family."

Along with breaking the silence, Samaroo hopes men will take the next step. "Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. It's usually slow-growing and highly curable, if it is found early. But men have to be willing to take charge of their own health and see their doctor."
