We all know Ha’way man - he’s a canny lad.

Ha’way man

The Baddies...cancers if Ha’way man doesn’t take notice of his body, keep healthy, check himself regularly and get screened then cancer could become a real problem. the ones to know about are lung, prostate, bowel and testicular cancers.

Heart disease likes it if Ha’way man doesn’t look after himself. it attacks his heart and plumbing by stopping blood moving around the body, causing heart attacks, strokes and can destroy limbs.

emotional health can be a sidekick to Ha’way man if he keeps it right, but if he let’s things get on top of him, ignores problems and neglects his emotional health then he can really get down and have thoughts about destroying himself!

likes sport, especially watching it, usually with a pint in his hand. His remote control skills are second to none.

catches his ref lection now and again and wonders who that big lad is.

likes a laugh but does get stressed. He sometimes drowns his sorrows and can get scary.

is a great chef, he can knock out a fry up with his eyes closed.

likes the outdoors, he regularly pops out for some ‘fresh air’ with a lighter in his hand.

thinks he is invincible and doesn’t go to the doctors when things don’t feel right - this makes it easy for the baddies to knack him.

AlrEEt Man!LIVe LIFE THE ALREET WAY!!!

the life expectancy for a man in sunderland is less than the national average at 75.9 years old and that some areas of the city are as low as 69.7 and as high as 83.7? that’s fourteen years difference within the city depending upon where he lives! He is 70% more likely to die of a cancer, mainly because he leaves it too late to visit his gP. He is six times more likely than a woman to complete suicide - that’s twice the national average. the sunderland men’s Health network wants to do something about this.
