Health and wellbeing Better Health Modern life can sometimes make it hard to be healthy. But it’s never too late to improve your health – making small lifestyle changes such as eating well, drinking less alcohol and dealing with stress can double your chances of being healthy at 70 and beyond. Our busy lives often mean that our own health is at the bottom of our list of priorities.
Better Health is here to remind you that your health matters. You can find more information at www.nhs.uk/better-health A good way to start is to take the free One You health quiz, ‘How Are You?’. This provides personalised recommendations based on your results and directs you to tools and offers to help you take action where it’s most needed. Visit www.nhs.uk/better-health
Keeping healthy and fit Staying active Being regularly active helps to prevent diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Other benefits of staying active: • Improves co-ordination, flexibility and muscle strength, which can help to reduce the risk of falls. • Helps to ease depression and anxiety and
improves sleep patterns. • Helps to reduce high blood pressure. • Helps you maintain an ideal weight and can help with weight loss. Make activity part of your daily routine; once it’s a habit it’s easy to maintain and there are several ways to get active.
