This week, we are celebrating Men’s Health Week by sharing recipes from men in our community.
According to Men’s Health Week research, 70 per cent of a man’s overall health can be controlled through lifestyle choices, such as eating healthy and building social connections.
To encourage men in our community to try easy and nutritious meals, we’ve called on seven men in Boroondara to share their favourite recipes and stories about how food plays an important role in bringing friends, family and the community together.
The campaign helps to grow our understanding of the physical and mental health issues impacting men. It also promotes the health and wellbeing of men in our communities.
Men in Boroondara experience a good quality of life when compared to other Victorian localities, with 86 per cent reporting their health as good, very good or excellent in the 2017 Victorian Population Health Survey. However, in the City of Boroondara as little as two per cent of male residents eat enough vegetables.
