The 14th- 17th June 2010 is Men’s Health Week and this year the focus is on physical activity. No, that doesn’t mean just walking to the fridge and back when the World Cup is on, it means getting involved with your favourite sports and activities which all leads to a healthier lifestyle.
According to Government research, inactivity affects 60-70% of the adult population, which is more than smoking, alcohol misuse and obesity combined, says the Chief Medical Officer – The health benefits of physical activity are huge. If a medication existed which had a similar effect, it would be regarded as a wonder drug. If you’re still not convinced then how would you feel about more energy, reduced stress, stronger bones, higher self-esteem and better sleep? And that’s not even the whole list!
The long term aims of the Men’s Health Week campaign are to get two million more people active by 2012, if you feel inspired to join them then let the Body and Mind Centre help you on your way.
