National Men's Health Week – Encouraging all men to get moving!
www.buddypower.net today reports that this year, the annual National Men's Health Week (14-20 June 2010), organised by the Men's Health Forum, will encourage men and boys to taek part in more physical activity. 08-06-2010
Men’s Health Week will focus particularly on men aged over 35yrs old. This year, low levels of physical activity among males from ethnic groups in England will be highlighted. Compared to the general male population, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Chinese men are less likely than the general population to meet physical activity recommendations, which includes a 30-minute moderate or vigorous activity session at least five days per week. Fewer than 40% Black Caribbean and Black African men meet this recommendation. After the age of about 35, there's a sharp decline in the amount of physical activity men undertake and most cite pressure of work, stress, divorce and children as the causes. However, physical activity has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety as well as decreasing the risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes and can even improve sexual performance. Men's Health Week 2010 will highlight the many ways of staying healthy for all people. The week is not just about encouraging more men to take part in sport – there are many other ways of staying healthy. Using stairs instead of the lift, getting off the bus one stop earlier and walking the rest of the way, and cleaning the car by hand rather than going to the car wash are all simple everyday ways to keep active.
