What healthy habit will you start this Men’s Health Week?

Men’s Health Week is recognised annually to encourage conversations about men’s health. This year’s theme is ‘Healthy Habits’, with the week running from 12-18 June.

Have you heard the saying, ‘health is your greatest wealth’? The good news is, it’s never too early, or too late to invest in your health; so this International Men’s Health Week make sure you take some time, to take care of your own health and wellbeing and decide what healthy habit you can start to lead a healthier life.

There are many ways you can make healthy habits to support your mental, social and physical health. For example, by participating in regular physical activity, eating a healthy, balanced diet, connecting with others, meditating, getting enough sleep, or even just by reading a book.

DVA recommends consulting your GP or health professional before making big life style changes like diet or exercise. So, if it’s been a while since you’ve seen your GP, why not make this Men’s Health week time to change that.

DVA funds eligible veterans to receive a one off or annual comprehensive health assessment with a GP, through the Veterans’ Health Check
