Who supports your healthy lifestyle? | #HealthHour no. 3

This time we’re chatting about who the biggest supporter of your healthy lifestyle, and the best way to support you!

If you’re new to #HealthHour it’s a Twitter chat about living a healthy lifestyle with a focus on physical and mental well-being rather than weight loss and restriction. It’s at Mondays 8 PM (UK TIME), usually hosted by me, @Annesmiless, and a great way to make new friends who just gets you!

Before we dive into the third round of the chat, I’ve been asked if the chat could happen on Instagram. I’m not completely sure it could work; maybe by posting all the questions along with a picture, and then we chat in the comments? Would you be up for this? If you are, I’ll make it happen!

Now, onto the chat. The topic for this one was

Health Support Systems – The people who support your lifestyle

The following will be a recap of some of the answers in case you missed the that or don’t have a Twitter. You are very welcome to leave your answers in the comments. Otherwise, I hope you can learn something from the rest of the guys’ answers! 🙂

Q3. Do you think the internet is a good place to find support? #HealthHour

— Anne (@annesmiless) 20 June 2016

@annesmiless It can be, so long as that support is healthy and not destructive! Some conditions (eg. anorexia) can be glamorised online!

— Abbey Louisa Rose (@abbeylouisarose) 20 June 2016

 

I think sometimes it stresses me out but people can make me feel so unfit and unhealthy! But other times it can be motivating! #healthhour
