Well done to the NHS for promoting the health DANGERS of inactivity and staying in bed all day-please SHARE this information to as many people as you can. This poster was seen in Carmarthen hospital yesterday.

NHS tells us people over 80 who spend 10 days in bed AGES muscles by TEN YEARS!!!

One in active day in hospital can result in 5% muscle strength LOSS.

The poster continues saying loss of strength could make the difference between dependence and INDEPENDENCE.

Many people clapped the NHS in recent times on their doorsteps, whilst the greatest support you can give the NHS is trying to move more yourself, eat more fresh and wholesome food, get fresh air and strive to have more human contact and company which stimulates your mind.

Staying in bed often seems like the “easiest” option, but the consequences can often be devastating, with falls and severe balance problems often another big direct consequence that so many go through.

Stay active, help the NHS but most importantly help yourself to stay mobile, independent and keep your self confidence to do as many things as possible and keep your quality of life high.

Control what you can control this week, you can’t do anymore.

Accept you have to work hard.

Accept you have to eat real wholesome food to look after your body inside and out.

Be grateful of the opportunity you have to move your body every day, there’s plenty who haven’t so make the very most of it.

Make every effort to be around people who will fit you up and encourage you.

Give encouragement to others, you never know how positive words from you will impact others’ lives.

Be prepared to learn new things, none of us know it all, we are all life long students.
