Canadian Men's Health Week

Men’s Health Week, is an opportunity to build awareness about the importance of physical health and well-being among Canadian men, and to encourage men to take action to improve their overall health.

Unfortunately, many Canadian men are not achieving their optimal health. In fact, they live an average of four years less than Canadian women, and are more likely to be overweight or obese.

Small lifestyle changes such as healthier eating, regular physical activity and getting an adequate amount of sleep, can make a big difference and help lower the risk of developing many chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and some types of cancer.
