According to the CDC, 1 in 4 U.S. adults are sedentary for more than eight hours a day. 😯 Insights like this shed light on why staying active is so important – especially in the workplace! April 3rd was National Walking Day, and to celebrate, Presbyterian Homes is hosting weekly walks throughout the month of April to keep our team moving! Some benefits of walking include: ➡ Increased cardiovascular and pulmonary (heart and lung) fitness ➡ Reduced risk of heart disease and stroke ➡ Improved management of conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol, joint and muscular pain/stiffness, and diabetes ➡ Stronger bones and improved balance ➡ Increased muscle strength and endurance Thanks to all who joined us for our first walking event! 💪

12 million people across the UK struggle to breathe. Yet respiratory disease is pushed off the agenda time and time again. Despite being the third biggest killer, respiratory diseases only receive 2% of public funding. Diagnosing respiratory illnesses and identifying when there’s something wrong with the lungs is a particular challenge. People can wait many months and sometimes years to get diagnosed despite the fact that diagnosing respiratory illnesses is essential for providing appropriate treatment, avoiding exacerbations and long term lung damage, and improving quality of life for affected individuals. That’s why we’re delighted to have collaborated with LifeArc on our joint report – Transforming Respiratory Diagnostics: The Way Forward. Read the report in full: https://lnkd.in/ehQMmn3s The report is the culmination of a year’s work, including a workshop which brought together patients, clinicians, academics, innovators and companies whose expertise and insights have shaped this report. If you’d like to work with us to transform respiratory diagnostics, then please reach out – we’d love to hear from you. A special thank you to my team Erika Catherine Grace Alice and our colleagues LifeArc catherine Steven Linda Layla Andrew. Finally a thank you Alison for helping us write the report.
