My Health For Life
Australia’s Biggest Blood Pressure Event
High blood pressure is a major risk factor for several chronic conditions.
Australia’s biggest blood pressure check empowers Australians to know their risk of developing chronic conditions and understand how to manage their blood pressure.
Did you know high blood pressure affects 1 in 3 Australian adults and is more likely to affect men more than women. The good news is that simple lifestyle changes including eating well, moving more, limiting alcohol consumption and being smoke free can help support healthier blood pressure. Funded by the Queensland Government, the FREE My Health for Life Health Coaching initiative is raising awareness of high blood pressure and the importance of adopting healthier habits. The My health for life course is designed to help Queenslanders make healthier choices and create healthier habits, in simple steps, they can live with.
The course is delivered in six coaching sessions, at a relaxed pace, over 14 to 18 weeks — with qualified Health Coaches there to help you along the way. Plus, there are tools and resources to help you keep going after the coaching, So you can maintain your healthier habits. Taking it one step at a time makes it easier. It’s important to remember that you’re in control, and My health for life is here to support you. You choose the way you interact with the initiative. You set your goal and make a step-by-step plan, with expert support and guidance. You make the change you want to see happen in your life. We explore your motivation and look at ways to support you.
The first step is always the hardest. Start by checking how your health is tracking by doing the short online health check, and find out if My Health For Life is right for you.
We will be doing blood pressure and oxygen monitoring assessments during our My Health for Life week in May.
So bring a guest and come and join us for a week of celebration and education.
