Well its official. Frequent shopping is good for your health.
Research published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health found that it increases the chances of survival in both men and women as we get older. Active ageing is the key to healthy ageing and shopping trips count ! So what are you waiting for? Click the link below to view our full range of nebulisers.
I think there was a little more to it but shopping does provide physical, mental and social activity and, when shopping for pleasure, it increases our psychological well being too. When did you last visit your local high street, garden centre or D.I.Y store? When did you last get out and about for a good natter or just to browse?
The British Lung Foundation advocates exercise. It brings specific benefits to people with lung disease such as an increased ability to do daily activities, improved energy levels, reduced breathlessness and it can decrease number of days you spend in hospital. Asthma UK and the CF Trust also advocate exercise to help reduce symptoms and aid well being.
Exercise can be social too, be it in a class or a pulmonary rehabilitation group. It can help reduce your sense of isolation and provide an opportunity to meet others with lung disease in a similar situation. They say it always helps to talk and share your experiences maybe learn something new from others. So if you fancy a chat without the exertion why not pop along to your local Breathe Easy group or sign in to one of the forums? Who knows what adventures may be on offer.
Set yourself a challenge. Be realistic but optimistic. For some of you it could be London and Oxford Street for others a simple afternoon tea in town. Achieving your goals is a great way to build your confidence, self esteem and independence. It helps you rediscover activities you used to enjoy. Take your first step today by contacting your health professional or the experts to find a safe way to kick start your new life.
