Te Wiki o te Hou Ora Tane - Men's Health week starts today.
Māori men continue to experience poorer health outcomes than many other New Zealanders. We are overrepresented in diabetes statistics. We suffer higher rates of cardiovascular disease. We face challenges with blood pressure, obesity and preventable illness. Too many of our men are dying younger than they should.
The reality is that if we want to be there for our mokopuna, if we want to continue telling our stories, protecting our culture and supporting our whānau, then we have to start taking our own Hou Ora seriously.
Watch as Tame shares his korero on his health journey, especially as it relates to his diabetes. Mauri Ora.
