Men’s Health Week runs from June 12th to 19th.
King’s College Hospital London, Medical and Surgical Centre, in the heart of Abu Dhabi, is celebrating Men’s Health Week.
It’s the perfect time for an MOT on your health (something many of us are guilty of neglecting!)
Let’s start by considering a few steps you can take to improve your well-being, and how King’s College Hospital London can support you.
- Get good sleep! Adults need between 7-9 hours of sleep. Get less than that and you put yourself at greater risk of developing chronic diseases and conditions such as diabetes, cardio-vascular disease, obesity and depression.
- Throw out the tobacco! Let us support you at King’s with our smoking cessation programme. Quitting has immediate and long-term benefits, both for you and your family.
- Move more! Are you getting enough exercise each week? Adults need 2 ½ hours of moderate to high intensity aerobic exercise each week (this means getting sweaty and out of breath).
- Eat healthily! Are you getting your ‘5 a Day’? It’s easy to skip meals and choose convenient but unhealthy options when work is hectic. A balanced diet can help protect you against chronic disease and maintain a healthy weight. Our family medicine doctors can give you practical solutions that will make a big difference.
- Tame stress! Struggling to unwind and switch off from work? A certain level of stress is inevitable in our lives, but it can be harmful when it becomes severe enough to make you feel overwhelmed. Let us help you find positive ways of managing your stress without resorting to habits that may damage your health.
- Stay on top of your game! When was the last time you gave yourself a health MOT? Some diseases and conditions don’t have symptoms, so checkups help to identify issues early or before they can become a problem. At King’s College Hospital London, Medical and Surgical Centre, we offer a Men’s Health Check with evidence-based tests (and no unnecessary investigations), to give you peace of mind.
