This week is #MensHealthWeek and this year we are being encouraged to take a #ManMOT

The pandemic has meant that many of us have not been able to give our health the attention it needs. This week is a chance to take notice of what's going on in our bodies and minds.
1 in 5 men die before the age of 65 with cancer being one of the biggest causes. We know that 50,000 of us missed a cancer diagnosis during the pandemic and that early-stage cancer diagnoses fell by a third, with prostate cancer diagnoses down 29%.

1. Talk

Without doubt, this is the most important step you can take as a man. It's important to reach out to family or friends when you’re struggling, however impossible it may seem at the time. Opening up about your problems can literally save your life.

Mistake #1: Underrating how your body is changing with time.

At 30, you no longer dress as you do at 15. Your style reflects your age and this should apply to your grooming and health habits too.
#AvonsPracticalTips #MensHealthWeek

You may feel young at heart but you're actually not.
