It's day three of Men’s Health Week, you are invited to join us in embracing the journey towards better health with another challenge today.
Day 4: Healthy Relationship
Men’s health extends beyond individual well-being and has an impact on their relationships with loved ones. By prioritising their health, they can enhance their ability to engage in meaningful connections and contribute positively to their families, friends and communities.
Challenge: Make an effort to connect with family, friends and communities regularly. Engage in activities that promote social interaction, as social support is crucial for overall well-being.
