Leading a healthier lifestyle

Eating well and being active will help you stay fit and healthy so you can live life to the full and reduce the risks of ill health.

It's never too late to change - establish good habits now and you'll continue to reap the benefits.

Being the right weight has a positive effect on wellbeing but also on our health, as being the wrong weight can cause a range of medical problems.

Maintaining a 'keep fit' lifestyle doesn't have to mean slogging it out in a gym. Just boosting your levels of general daily activity will reap big rewards in improved health and energy.

The key to a healthy balanced diet is not to ban or omit any foods or food groups but to balance what you eat by consuming a variety of foods from each food group in the right proportions for good health.

This section looks at achieving a healthier lifestyle by eating well and increasing physical activity.
