So, a lot of recent studies are showing that we are living longer. But, what are we doing about staying healthier? It\u2019s all well and good living longer, however, I think we have to consider that this is in direct relation to better medical care. Yes, I know, even though we keep complaining about the state of the NHS, without it and its advancements or the years we wouldn\u2019t living as long as we do. In fact I would even go as far as to say that the reason the NHS is as bad off as it appears to be, is because it is a victim of its own success.<\/p>\n
That coupled with our over use of antibiotics worldwide, has left us with quite a quandary. Because now we are living longer thanks to our advances, both medical and industrial, we now find ourselves both on the cusp of longevity beyond the belief of our ancestors of only a few hundred years ago and that of self-assured destruction. And I\u2019m not talking about the threat of war or nuclear attack, I\u2019m talking about finding ourselves in a situation where infections and viruses that we once didn\u2019t even give a second thought to, could become lethal.<\/p>\n
So, with this quandary in mind we must start thinking about how we look at our health and I for one am well aware that I could do much better at keeping healthier. We know diet is important, personally one of my downfalls, and we know that exercise and staying active is vital to staying healthier in later life.<\/p>\n
So why don\u2019t we exercise more? Sure, there are the guys down the gym that make feel inadequate in the muscle department. However, keeping fit and active is not about seeing how much muscle mass you can support on your frame before it\u2019s impossible to move. It\u2019s about movement, cardio as the experts call it. Have you ever heard the expression \u2018Life Is Movement\u2019, it applies here too. It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re walking the dog every day or playing football with the guys every week. It\u2019s about making changes in our lives, so that we do something every day that can help us maintain our health.<\/p>\n
We are quite lucky nowadays; it seems that if you are just willing to get off the couch or step away from the computer, you find something active to do. But, if you are still looking for inspiration, why not get in touch and I\u2019ll let you know what\u2019s happening in our school. And while you\u2019re at it, why not think about walking to us or get that old bike out of storage and dust it off, we have parking spaces for bikes too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
