Please take a look at http://carewelluk.org
I know a few of the carers on here have been involved in helping test the site and develop the content. Carers UK has worked with BUPA and MEND to create Carewell - the idea is all about having the energy to care.
Healthly lifestyle advice is all very well, but for most carers they don't have the time or money to join a gym or buy a juicer etc! But we know that carers suffer poor health. They're too busy looking after someone else they don't look after themselves.
Carewell is about practical advice on eating, exercise, stress and sleep that we hope is non-preachy and acknowledges the difficulties carers face in staying healthy.
There is a forum there too, not intended to replace this one but is a place where carers who want to make a change to their live can discuss the health issue and get support. Plus if you sign up you get a free MP3 download to aid sleep and relaxation
Please take a look and let me know what you think.
All the best
Matt
