As a part of the Men's Health Week Ryan is talking to Mark Sainsbury, one of the country's most experienced journalists and one of the directors and ambassadors for the Men's Health Week, about the importance of small steps to look after your physical and mental health.Men are at a disadvantage health wise from the start. A boy born today will live nearly four years less than a girl. When it comes to preventable diseases, men are in much higher risk. Worse, men are three times more likely to die by suicide. And as we all know mental health is especially important in our current times of uncertainty. That's the main purpose of the Men's Health Week that started on the 13th of June. The sole purpose at Men's Health Week is to get guys to think a little more and know a little more about their health. The aim is to encourage men to start with the small steps that can enable them to turn their health issues around. Little steps can – and will – make big differences.
