Physical Activity and Movement
Working in care can be physically and mentally demanding, making it even more important to prioritise regular movement and physical activity.
Being active can improve:
- Energy levels
- Reduce stress
- Support mental wellbeing
- Improve sleep
- Lower the risk of developing a range of long-term health conditions.
The good news is that you do not need to spend hours exercising to benefit.
Small changes, such as taking a brisk walk, using the stairs, stretching between visits, or breaking up long periods of sitting, can all contribute to better health.
