Healthy Lifestyles
A healthy lifestyle gives us physical and mental wellbeing and good social connections. This is important, as the coronavirus pandemic has shown that people have a better chance of recovery if they are healthy. Being healthy is a good way to be kind to yourself.
A healthy lifestyle includes a balanced diet and regular exercise. It should include plenty of rest, especially sleep. Alcohol should be avoided or drunk in moderation.
Children learn about healthy lifestyles from their parents. To set a good example, follow this link https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/
