This section aims to provide you
with information that you can use to keep yourself
healthier
Knowledge about the causes of disease is
continually evolving, so what is on offer here is the best
knowledge we have at the current time, but it is unlikely
to change substantially.

Keeping healthy is not just for people who
like sport, nearly everyone can do something to improve
their health. Have a look at the section on exercise to see how you can get
fitter, without having to go to a gym or having to pay
lots for special sports gear.
On the other hand if you would like to
join an exercise class or gym, see the resources section
on exercise and sports
for more information. |

| "You are what you eat" it is said,
and there is increasing knowledge about what kind of food
is good for your health, so visit the section on healthy eating |

Do you wonder if you are a
little overweight? Try our Waist
Hip Ratio calculator to see if you need to
lose a few pounds. More importantly, perhaps,
the waist hip ratio is a good indicator of your
risk of heart disease.
Of course, some of the things we do are
harmful to our health, and it can be difficult to change
our behaviour. We realise this, and are available to help
with problem drinking or those wanting to stop smoking.
Have a look at the sections on safer drinking and smoking.
Also find out how to enjoy the sun more safely. |
 Is it
worth all the effort to keep fit and look after your
health?
Only you can decide, but what you stand to
gain is a better quality of life both now and also as you
get older. |

If it seems too difficult,
don't worry, just making one small step towards living
more healthily is better than doing nothing, and after
that you may be ready to make another small change! |
look after your health now to enjoy life longer
