It’s men’s health week!

Only 30% of a man’s overall health is determined by genetics, the other 70% is controllable through lifestyle. Changes to lifestyle can be made by:

✔ increasing activity – men who walk 5 city blocks a day may lower their risk of heart attack by 25%.

✔ getting more sleep – men who sleep 7-8 hours a night have about 60% less risk of fatal heart attack than those who sleep 5 hours or less.

✔ getting more active – inactive men are 60% more likely to suffer from depression than those who are active.

Come and see the friendly, knowledgeable physiotherapists at West Ryde Physiotherapy and we can help you make small changes to get your lifestyle back on track so you can live a long life to the full.
