Can we please get this spread out to all within Frimley ICS no matter the role or location. Let’s see if we can get this trending with a hashtag #30dayswildFrimleyICS which photos of what people are doing over social media.
Why is this important?
Many other recent studies have examined the multiple benefits of local green space and routine contact with nature and the great outdoors for:
• Physical and mental health
• Reduced stress and improved well being
• Healthy childhood development
• Educational attainment
• Reduced health-related costs to society
• Better neighbourhoods and social cohesion.
UK’s four Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) asserted the importance of, and issued guidance for, different kinds of physical activity for people of all ages from early years to older adults, ranging from gentle strolls and household tasks to more strenuous activity: “Regular physical activity can reduce the risk of many chronic conditions including coronary heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, cancer, obesity, mental health problems and musculoskeletal conditions. Even relatively small increases in physical activity are associated with some protection against chronic diseases and an improved quality of life...
“The estimated direct cost of physical inactivity to the NHS across the UK is £1.06 billion. This is based upon five conditions specifically linked to inactivity, namely coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, colorectal cancer and breast cancer. This figure represents a conservative estimate, since it excludes the costs of other diseases and health problems, such as osteoporosis and falls, which affect many older people.”
Therefore, let’s use June to Go WILD!! #30dayswildFrimleyICS
