Men's Health Forum
We recently held our popular Men's Health Forum which included on site Health Testing and Presentations on Men's Health Related topics.
Our Health Testing Stations were well used
throughout the evening, checking BMI,
Cholesterol,
Blood Glucose & Blood Pressure.
In fact we know of 2 attendees who utilised these Testing
Stations (1 tested for Blood Pressure and 1 tested for
Cholesterol) with results were very much in the "danger
zone". They were previously unaware of this, and had no obvious
symptoms. Having these tests on the night made them aware
of this issue and have since both visited their GPs and put on a
program to address the problem.
We also saw some eye-opening
presentations on Men's Health topics including:
- Prostate Cancer
. . . 50 years of age?... get tested
- Depression .
. . talk to someone, people available to listen on the phone
- Heart Health .
. . Eat and exercise . . . watch for the symptoms
- Erectile Dysfuntion .
. . Many options available to overcome this
- Nutrition .
. . cut out the crap from your diet ! !
For those who attended the Forum,
we hope the evening was beneficial to you, and you walked away with
a better knowledge and awareness.
For those who couldn't make it, we
hope to see you next time.
Thanks to everyone,
including our MC Simon Madden, our Speakers, and Volunteers, who
assisted in making the evening a great successs ! !
