Out of curiosity I asked how much a care home would cost me if I ended up there at the lovely age of 65.
Firstly I can't even comprehend how I would be able to afford this on top of supporting my family ( as we know bank of mum & dad doesn't close 🤣)
Realistically we are seeing an early increase of younger elderly adults entering the care home.
Your health doesn’t have a price tag. But neglecting it can have a very big one.
We spend years telling ourselves “I’ll start when I have more time.”
“I’m not that bad.”
“I’ll deal with it later.”
But later eventually becomes loss of strength, mobility, independence and quality of life.
The reality is harsh: you don’t suddenly become frail at 50/70 or 80. The foundations are being built decades before, like right now!
Investing £89 a month into your health isn’t just about losing weight or looking better in the mirror.
It’s about building muscle, strength, balance, fitness and confidence NOW — so your future self has a better chance of being the woman who can still get up off the floor, carry her shopping, climb the stairs and look after herself.
You can keep hiding from the reality.
Or you can do something about it while you still can.
Your future health is being decided by what you do today.
We don't all have to have the same goals and it's ok to ask for help, or for support, even if it's to get you started. But I know for sure that we all have one thing in common and that's to get stronger in our body's ability ( and also to avoid paying high costs like this at the end of it, no thank you 🤣)
