В Worcestershire запускают бесплатные еженедельные занятия по здоровью и социализации

HEALTHY Worcestershire is helping people stay heart healthy, discover something new about how their body works and make meaningful social connections this September. The weekly sessions offer a friendly and supportive place where people learn practical health information, enjoy gentle activities and meet others from their community. Whether coming along alone or with a friend, everyone can expect a warm welcome. The week beginning September 7, sessions will focus on keeping your heart healthy, learn simple ways to look after your heart through healthy eating, physical activity and managing your blood pressure. The week starting September 14 will focus on blue badges, find out what blue badges are, who may be eligible, and how to apply for one. The topic for the week beginning September 21 is the hidden human senses, while most people are familiar with the five traditional senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch, there are three additional senses that play a vital role in our everyday lives but are rarely discussed. The first is proprioception, often called our body-position sense, which helps us know where our limbs are without looking. The second is the vestibular sense, our internal balance system that helps us stay upright and orientated. The third is interoception, which enables us to recognise and interpret signals from within the body, such as hunger, thirst and changes in heart rate. From September 28, the focus will be on what’s happening in the community, find out about local groups, activities, services and events available in your area. Coun Alan Bailes, Worcestershire County Council’s cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said: “Healthy Worcestershire is all about helping people stay well, stay connected and learn something new in a friendly and welcoming environment. “Whether you’d like practical advice on keeping your heart healthy, want to find out more about Blue Badges, are curious about how your body works, or simply want to discover what’s happening in your local community, we’d love to see you there. “The sessions are free, informal and open to everyone.” Visit healthyworcestershire.org.uk for more information.
