Show them how it’s done

Naomi,
I remember very clearly ,somewhere in our early training (in the sixties) being told that as nurses we were an example to the community and whether on duty in uniform or off duty in outdoor clothes we were required to present that picture of health and healthy lifestyle.
We were taught what was then called dietetics and no one mentioned exercise as we certainly got plenty of that being on our feet for hours at a time.
So your article really expands on that idea taught so long ago.

I agree with you .
I have sometimes come across health professionals who certainly do not present a picture of health and well being. No matter how kind and knowledgeable they are it is hard to have confidence in them when they don’t seem to be walking their talk.
