Be active, is the second of the 5 ways to wellbeing. For a little over 99% of our time as humans our existence required us to be physically active every day, to find food and build shelter, move to new pastures or to evade trouble, this is known as obligatory physical activity (PA). We evolved with this to the point where PA is not good for us, but essential for us, a subtle but important difference. Habitual PA releases a host of protective hormones (read 'muscle as an endocrine organ'), moves blood around us and poo through us, stresses muscle and bone so it becomes stronger, supports the immune system, improves sleep and mental health, and reduces the incidence of some cancers. It needn't cost anything, but it's priceless! Changing the narrative from increasing PA to reducing inactivity allows more people to engage and self select, as there's no social expectation on what you have to do. Just do something you enjoy, it all has value. The best bit (from a public health perspective) is that the greatest benefits come from moving from no activity to some activity, with a bit more being better. There is very little obligatory PA for most of us today and guess what, we're seeing a significant rise in obesity, type 2 diabetes, some cancers, MSK issues, poor sleep and poor mental health. The link is clear and unambiguous. So why not take time for yourself to be active in something you enjoy every day, it needn't be much, but you'll feel so much better for it 😁 #activepartnerships #ukactive #sportengland #mind #NHS

If we can hack the brain to perform against its own best interests… then we can hack it to optimize wellness. Let’s break this down. In the 1970s, experimental psychologist Howard Moskowitz discovered the Bliss Point— a combination of salt, sugar, and fat designed to light up your brain’s pleasure center. This “Bliss Point” hits the same part of the brain that drugs and alcohol do. It triggers dopamine, making you crave more. And here’s where it gets dark: The Bliss Point bypasses your body’s natural fullness signals, so you keep eating. This is why they say, “You can’t eat just one.” The food industry has built an addiction trap. Like a designer drug in a legal, easy-to-open package. You’re not just eating the wrong foods. You’re programmed to crave them. But there’s hope. → You can fight back. → You can reprogram your brain for wellness. It starts with awareness. Ready to take control of your health? Let’s connect and explore how you can break free from this cycle.

Take Back Control of Your Health The hard truth? No one is going to care about your health as much as you do. It’s time to stop relying solely on external systems and start taking control of your well-being. Focus on Prevention: Move your body, eat whole foods, and prioritize sleep. Small, consistent changes have a big impact. Question What You Consume: Be mindful of what you put into your body—not just food, but also the content you consume online. Prioritize Mental Health: Set boundaries with technology, practice mindfulness, and make time to unplug. Be Informed, But Critical: Education is key, but not all health advice works for everyone. Learn, experiment, and listen to your body. It’s Your Health, Your Responsibility We have more resources than ever before—information, tools, and communities that can support a healthier lifestyle. But the responsibility lies with each of us to take action. The numbers don’t have to keep climbing. It’s time to take ownership of your health and pave the way for a future where these diseases aren’t the norm. Your health is in your hands. Start today. Take one step. Because the best investment you can ever make is in yourself. #HealthCrisis #ChronicIllness #MentalHealthAwareness #DiabetesAwareness #AutismAwareness #SleepApnea #ADHDsupport #DepressionAwareness #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #AlzheimersAwareness #PublicHealth #HealthMatters #HealthStatistics #WellnessJourney #HealthcareReform

Not only can self-care alleviate feelings of stress and anxiety, but it also better prepares you for the demands of life. Whether that’s work, family, or something else, you’re only able to help those around you when you’ve taken proper care of yourself. Diet, exercise, and sleep are important components of physical health, but when it comes to managing emotional well-being, it can be more challenging.

Has health become too specialised?? We are missing so much when we specialise right down to every individual system of the body. We see a dietitian for nutrition advice, an exercise professional for movement advice, a psychologist for mental advice...and so on. What we really need is to go back to a more generalised approach so that we take a holistic view rather than a narrow isolated view. The body works as an integrated system. We need to consider how all the parts blend together rather than looking at them as separate parts. Do you agree or disagree? #healthcoach #personalisedhealth #wellness #holistichealth #healthyhabits
