Today is World Health Day. This year's theme is building a fairer, healthier world. 

I've listed just a few resources below on some key themes of healthy-living. Please comment your own tips and tricks below.

You can use their website to find out how to reduce your drinking, discover whether you might be drinking too much, and track your drinking. They have lots of good information about seeking advice and support, so please do check-out their website.

Mental Health

The Mental Health Foundation has some sound top tips on how to look after your mental health. 

Getting Active

The NHS website has a page on getting active if you're disabled, or living with a long-term health condition. This contains some tips, as well as links to accessible exercise opportunities. 

Smoking

Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do to look after your health. However, it's really hard to do it alone. The NHS website has a page on NHS smoking services to help you quit. 

Eating Well

Improving your diet is also a really important part of becoming more healthy. The NHS website has a useful page on how to eat well.

Do you know of any other resources? Do you have any healthy recipes to share? What is your exercise routine? Is anything stopping you from improving your health?

I find being at the doctors makes my blood pressure go up @woodbine! 

I gave up smoking some some years ago now and I hardly drink any alcohol at all, I just don’t think about it. However I am overweight and need to walk more or diet or both, still summers coming...salad weather etc.
