Ever wondered how many calories your body uses just to keep you alive? πŸ’™

Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs each day to carry out basic functions such as breathing, circulating blood, regulating temperature and supporting your organs πŸ«€πŸ«

Knowing your BMR can help you better understand your energy needs and can be useful if you're looking to manage your weight, improve your fitness or make healthier lifestyle choices πŸ‘

Your BMR is influenced by factors such as:
β€’ age
β€’ s*x
β€’ height and weight
β€’ muscle mass
β€’ overall health πŸƒ

While BMR is only one part of the picture, understanding it can help you make more informed decisions about your nutrition and activity levels πŸ’ͺπŸ₯—

Use the Patient Info BMR Calculator to find out more about your body's energy needs πŸ’«

August is National Immunisation Awareness Month, a great opportunity to learn more about the vaccines that help protect children from serious illnesses πŸ’‰πŸ’™

Vaccinations are one of the most effective ways to protect against infectious diseases and help keep our communities healthy πŸ‘

The MMRV vaccine protects children against four illnesses:
β€’ Measles
β€’ Mumps
β€’ Rubella
β€’ Varicella (chickenpox) πŸ‘Ά

These illnesses can sometimes lead to serious complications, including pneumonia, meningitis and other health problems ⚠️

The MMRV vaccine is offered as part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme and helps provide important protection during early childhood πŸ’™

Making sure your child receives their vaccinations on time helps protect them and those around them πŸ›‘οΈ

If you're unsure whether your child is up to date with their vaccinations, speak to your GP practice for advice πŸ‘

Living with Crohn’s or Colitis can affect much more than just your gut πŸ’œ

These lifelong conditions can impact work, education, relationships, and mental wellbeing – even when symptoms aren’t visible πŸ’¬

Around 1 in 120 people in the UK are living with Crohn’s or Colitis, yet many people still don’t fully understand the reality of these conditions 🀝

By raising awareness, we can help reduce stigma and support those living with invisible illnesses
