Having a healthy diet and keeping fit and in good shape is important for your overall health and well-being. It helps to reduce the risk of certain conditions including heart disease, stroke, some cancers, diabetes and osteoporosis. Ultimately, healthy eating helps you to feel great, have more energy and stabilises your mood. It is recommended that men have around 2,500 calories a day and women should have around 2,000 calories a day.
If you would like to eat more healthily or lose weight, Live Well Stay Well can support you.
