82-year old Sandra Pietrzak makes the most of her retirement, keeping busy with dance classes and volunteering in her local community centre.
Sandra likes to pop into the One You Kent shop to get some of the Fare Share produce on offer.
On one of her visits, she had a quick health MOT. This revealed a dangerously high blood pressure level and high cholesterol. She went along to the GP who warned her she was at risk of having a stroke. Sandra went along to a One You Kent weight loss course held at the shop. ‘It was great to be challenged and learn from the trainer and the others on the course.’ She has lost a few pounds and feels her trousers are a bit looser.
She has now started going along to a pilates class at the shop to improve her strength. ‘At my age, it can be very lonely. You really need to keep active mentally and physically. Find what you love, and keep doing it.’ Great advice Sandra, keep up the good work!
