Today is World Health Day
Celebrating the power of health and wellbeing- for everyone, everywhere.

From daily walks to mental health check-ins, every small step counts.

In Australia, life expectancy has increased over the last 5 decades by 13.7 years for men and 11.2 years for women. We are living longer- well into our 80s as an average.

Take a moment today to prioritise your health or support someone else’s.

Fun fact- World health day is the anniversary of when the World Health Organisation was founded in 1948.

What really matters most is understanding what’s normal for you, so you can spot any changes early.

Celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women

Despite living longer than men, women spend 25% more of their lives in poor health. There is a disparity in women’s health which impacts their quality of life, having a ripple effect on our broader society.

We must invest in women’s health, for our mothers, our sisters, our nieces, our daughters, our partners, and ourselves. wrote, that by investing in women, we can accelerate the transition towards a healthier, safer and more equal world.

How can you contribute to making a positive change for women?

This is a simple way to check for signs and symptoms of testicular cancer. The most common symptom is a lump in a testicle or a change in size or shape. If you find anything unusual, see your doctor for a check up. 🍒

If all Australians did the minimum recommended levels of physical activity, without any other intervention, in 25 years it is projected that anxiety rates would be 6.4% lower and depression rates would be 4.4% lower.

Everyone has a role to play in kid’s physical activity levels.

National Health & Physical Education Day is a good reminder to accumulate 60minutes of active play a day. As teachers, get creative. It’s not just the ‘sporty teacher’s job’. Find 5minutes to create movement brain breaks, have equipment handy or incorporate movement into other lessons like art, math and English. The research suggests that active kids are also more engaged kids
