MEMBERS of the Inglewood and Bridgewater Men’s Shed were the heroes of International Men’s Health Week at a special pizza luncheon.
Inglewood and Districts Health Service hosted shed members last week to build strong and supportive relationships crucial for a long and healthy life.
The luncheon was part of the Good Health Heroes program.
Good Health Heroes campaign aims to educate Australian men on the health issues most likely to affect them and encourage prevention through sustainable lifestyle changes.
The campaign focuses on six key foundations of good health in men — nutrition, exercise, connection, reducing risk-taking, health literacy and sleep. 
IDHS holds regular functions for the men’s shed that meets weekly in purpose-built sheds behind the hospital. 
A function is being planned for the later in the year involving members of the Wedderburn Men’s Shed.
