Men's Health

Many men prioritise work and family over their health, often neglecting regular check-ups and risking undiagnosed conditions. Key focus areas include mental health, heart health, and lifestyle choices like diet and exercise. Raising awareness about depression and promoting regular screenings for hypertension and prostate cancer are essential.

Open discussions and community programmes can empower men to take charge of their well-being and foster a culture prioritising health.

Building Mental Fitness and New Habits

Self-care encompasses all the ways -big and small - that you nurture the wonderful person you are, whether stepping away from your desk, enjoying a bubble bath, or setting healthy boundaries. How you show up for yourself matters, and TELUS Health is here to help you achieve your self-care goals.

Mental fitness, the intentional practice of awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, is essential in this journey.

To support our mental health, we must turn our intentions into actions and develop a self-care plan that works for us.

Energise Your Everyday

Have you ever noticed how an outdoor walk can turn around a bad day? Our physical health significantly impacts our mental health, and vice versa.

We can enhance both by focusing on the connection between mind and body. We all want to make the most of each day, and how we treat our bodies can either help us excel or hold us back.

This month, we focus on strategies for preventing afternoon tiredness, understanding the glycaemic index, proper hydration benefits, and convenience food's impact on our health.
