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.
