Staying active as you get older is one of the best ways to maintain independence, improve wellbeing and reduce the risk of conditions like heart disease and stroke. It’s never too late to start, and even small amounts of movement can make a difference. πŸ’™πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈβœ¨

For older adults, the NHS recommends:
β€’ Being active every day, even with light activities πŸŒΏπŸ’™
β€’ Aiming for around 150 minutes of moderate activity each week, such as brisk walking πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈβœ¨
β€’ Doing strength exercises at least twice a week to keep muscles strong πŸ’ͺ🩺
β€’ Including balance and flexibility activities to reduce the risk of falls βš–οΈπŸŒ±

Activities like walking, gardening, swimming or gentle exercise classes can all help improve physical and mental wellbeing, as well as reduce loneliness and support independence.

Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers, and recognising the signs early can make a real difference to outcomes. The most common symptom is blood in your p*e, even if it only happens once or is not painful, and it should always be checked by a GP.

Other symptoms to look out for include:
β€’ Pain, burning or stinging when passing urine πŸ’§βš οΈ
β€’ Needing to p*e more often or urgently 🚽⏱️
β€’ Repeated urinary infections πŸ”πŸ©Ί
β€’ Pain in the lower tummy or back πŸ€•βœ¨
β€’ Feeling very tired or losing weight without trying πŸ’™πŸ“‰

These symptoms are often caused by other conditions, but it’s important not to ignore them. Getting checked early can lead to earlier diagnosis and more effective treatment.

If your child or young person has an earache, your local pharmacy can often help without needing a GP appointment. Through the Pharmacy First service, pharmacists can assess symptoms, give advice and provide treatment where appropriate for children aged 1 to 17. πŸ’™πŸ‘ΆπŸ©Ίβœ¨

Pharmacists can:
β€’ Assess your child’s symptoms and check for signs of infection πŸ”πŸ’™
β€’ Offer advice on managing pain and symptoms at home πŸŒΏπŸ’Š
β€’ Provide treatment, including some prescription medicines if needed πŸ’ŠπŸ©Ί
β€’ Refer you to a GP or other service if symptoms need further care πŸš‘βš οΈ

Earache is a common condition in children, and many cases can be safely managed with support from your pharmacist. Getting help locally can save time and ensure your child gets the right care quickly.

Walking is one of the easiest ways to boost your health and wellbeing, and it doesn’t require any special equipment or gym membership. Even a brisk 10-minute walk a day can improve your mood, increase energy levels and support heart health. πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈπŸ’šβœ¨

Regular walking can help:
β€’ Improve heart health and reduce risk of disease ❀️🩺
β€’ Boost mood and reduce stress and anxiety πŸŒΏπŸ’™
β€’ Increase energy levels and improve sleep βš‘πŸŒ™
β€’ Support weight management and overall fitness βš–οΈβœ¨

You don’t need to do hours of exercise to see benefits. Short, regular walks all add up and count towards the recommended activity levels.

Making walking part of your daily routine, whether it’s a lunchtime walk, walking to work or getting outside with friends, can have a big impact on your physical and mental wellbeing. πŸ’šπŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈβœ¨

High blood pressure (hypertension) is often called a β€œsilent killer” because it usually has no symptoms, but it can significantly increase your risk of heart attacks, strokes and kidney disease if left untreated. The only way to know your numbers is to get your blood pressure checked. πŸ’™πŸ©Ίβœ¨

The good news is that checks are quick, simple and often available at your local pharmacy without needing an appointment. Many pharmacies offer free NHS blood pressure checks for people aged 40 and over, making it easier than ever to stay on top of your health.

Getting your blood pressure checked can:
β€’ Detect problems early before symptoms appear πŸ”πŸ’™
β€’ Help prevent serious health conditions πŸ«€βš οΈ
β€’ Give you advice on lifestyle changes if needed 🌿✨
β€’ Support long-term heart health πŸ“ŠπŸ’ͺ

Taking a few minutes to check your blood pressure could make a life-saving difference. πŸ’™βœ¨
