Our healthspan represents the years we spend in good health over our lifetime. On average (according to UK Office for National Statistics) we will spend our final 15-20 years with some form of disability due to illness. Which sounds wholly unappealing to me – fortunately, it is NOT inevitable!
The vast majority of reasons for that 15-20 years of disability are down to preventable chronic disease (sometimes called non-communicable disease). Preventable though our lifestyle. So if you want to tip your odds in favour of spending your final years in good health, start now!
It’s so easy to put your own health on the back burner, whether because of work and family commitments or simply because you’ve never really felt the need to consciously focus on your health. You feel that now is the time for a change – whether you’ve started to notice things about your health you don’t like or have otherwise been reminded that if you want to serve those you care about as best you can, you need to be in good shape.
Whatever the reason, I’m here for you – let’s get things on the right track, bit by bit, one thing at a time, so you can feel the difference. Enhanced healthspan, here I come!
