Let’s talk about your HEALTHSPAN....
🏴Life expectancy in Scotland is estimated to be 76.5 years for men and 80.7 years for women (National Statistics, 2020-2022).
👵👴The average lifespan has increased over the last 40 years.
🩺We are living longer, but how many of those years are spent with good health?
The National Records of Scotland for 2021-2023 state that our average healthy life expectancy, which is the number of years of life spent in good health, is 60 years for women and 59.6 years for men.
This figure has been decreasing since 2014.
What future do you want for yourself?
Personally, I want to be one of those people you hear about who are off on epic adventures when they are in their 80s🧗🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🚵🏼♀️
I want to be active in my retirement.
Are you the same?
🤔And what life do you want to live now?
🙋🏼♀️My ultimate goal is to make the most of the time I have right now by improving my health both physically and mentally and to support you to do the same ❤️
I know in life there are no guarantees, but I want to give myself and others the best chance at having as long a healthspan as possible.
I love the statement:
‘Genetics loads the gun, but our environment pulls the trigger’.
🧬Yes, genetically we may be predisposed to certain conditions, but there are things we can do to support our health every day.
➡️We can make different choices.
➡️We can make small, sustainable, impactful changes.
➡️We can make a difference
Over the past few years I have done just that and I continue to do so.
📚I’ve educated myself and I’ve prioritised my health and I want to help you to do the same!
🤔Have you thought about your healthspan before?
❓️What small change could you make today?
