Around 2.8 million people worldwide suffer from multiple sclerosis (MS).[1] Nevertheless, there is still a great need for information about the chronic inflammatory disease. On May 30th, the international World MS Day puts the topic in the focus of general interest every year and also clears up all sorts of half-knowledge. In Germany, the World MS Day is this time under the motto “Together“.[2] You can also find them on the internet platform www.aktiv-mit-ms.de Numerous activities took place: expert advice on how to deal with the diagnosis, a yoga session with breathing, body and relaxation exercises, and a joint brunch with recipes that were as tasty as they were healthy.
About 2.8 million people worldwide live with multiple sclerosis.[1] In Germany alone, over 280,000 people are affected.[3] MS is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. So MS has nothing to do with muscle wasting, even if this is often wrongly assumed; MS is also not contagious and for the vast majority of those affected does not necessarily mean a life in a wheelchair.[3] Every year, the international World MS Day offers a good opportunity to raise awareness about the disease and to dispel these and many other myths surrounding multiple sclerosis. Not only that is better together: Dealing with the diagnosis, getting and staying in motion, as well as switching to an anti-inflammatory diet are often easier together. Together is also the motto that the German Multiple Sclerosis Society (DMSG) has set for this year’s day of action on May 30th.[2]
