🎉 Exciting news! 🎉

The quiz is designed to make it easier than ever for people to take a simple first step towards feeling healthier — especially for those who aren’t sure where to start.

🩺 Upon completion you receive:
✅ An overall health score out of 10
✅ A breakdown across six key lifestyle areas:
• Movement
• Eating
• Alcohol consumption
• Smoking & va**ng
• Mental health
• Sleep

💡 The quiz also captures some basic demographic info and helps users reflect on their motivations before guiding them through a series of easy, insightful questions.

Most importantly, you receive personalised recommendations for areas where changes may be beneficial — including signposting to trusted NHS apps, expert advice, and supportive resources to help you make positive changes with confidence.
