At HerMove, we believe that movement and well-being are vital at every stage of life. We were delighted to feature Wendy Coombs from the Ageing Well Programme at Age UK East Grinstead & District on our recent radio segment.

This inspiring conversation is packed with valuable insights on the importance of maintaining your health as you get older.

The Key Takeaways

The discussion emphasised that small steps can make a big difference to health, wellbeing, and quality of life, regardless of age. Wendy shared essential knowledge on three crucial areas:

Nutrition: The role of proper diet in maintaining energy and vitality as we age.
Exercise: How consistent movement—even low-impact activity—is key to managing everyday tasks and staying strong (a concept often reflected in our HerMove ethos).
Managing Medications: Practical advice for safely handling prescriptions and how they interact with daily wellness.

This conversation perfectly highlights our commitment to inter-generational health, ensuring that women and girls from the earliest stages of life through their 80s have the tools and support they need to thrive.
