Some more grim news on the health front for wales and the UK today.
Never has there been so many diseases been brought on by poor diets in the country.
It seems as if there has been an even further deterioration in the nation’s health, and lots of different factors have been blamed.
From lack of money, more people in the poverty trap than ever, more people eating fast food than ever, more people not exercising, a lack of activities and sport in schools, a lack of activities in the community and a poor participation rate in just about anything linked to moving around and being active.
It seems as if all the government initiativeshave mostly failed despite the high visibility, and “ticking all the right boxes” or so they claim.
Personal responsibility takes a big part too, you cannot make someone exercise if they clearly do not want to.
You cannot make someone eat well and healthy if they do now want to on their supermarket shops.
What we CAN do is offer every opportunity to those who want the chance to be fit and healthy, and therefore be far more likely to AVOID serious disease and early death in some cases.
There should be more incentives to those at work to exercise and eat well, its getting bigger in america but still not so big here although i am developing a couple of organsiations as i speak.
There should be far more visibility to those sections in supermarket that are healthier than others.
There should be tax relief to those organisation such as gyms, fitness centres, fitness providers to contribute as much as possible to those who think they cant afford the gym.
There should be even more educational programmes starting earlier in schools, and more money put into school canteens so they can offer healthy options, instead of the rubbish they offer now.
They should offer cookery courses to parents, all parents not only the ones that are obviously struggling, we are all learning and it wouldnt hurt to learn more.
There are endless things we can do, we are not short of options, all we need is the government to work with all of us who know whats really going on!!!
Hi Keri, well the day started with Ken being unwell, caught the children’s BUG, sorted him out and then I went cycling for an hour, but on the way back I felt really rough, and the wind was against me, thought I would never get home. Anyway I did of course, and then promptly started to throw up, I felt really awful. Been ill all day hoping I can train 2mo or Wed tho. Havent got the children until Thurs, just as well.
take it easy then jean until you feel 100% again, no need to push it until then!
