🌟National Obesity Awareness Week – 10–16 January 🌟
This week is all about raising awareness of obesity and encouraging small, positive changes for a healthier lifestyle. Obesity can increase the risk of conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and joint problems—but the good news is that simple steps can make a big difference.
Top Tips for a Healthier You:
✅ Start your day with a balanced breakfast
✅ Aim for 5 portions of fruit and veg daily
✅ Stay active—walking, cycling, or even dancing at home counts!
✅ Drink plenty of water and limit sugary drinks
✅ Check food labels and choose lower sugar, fat, and salt options
Remember, it’s not about quick fixes—it’s about building habits that last. Even one small change this week can lead to a healthier future.
What’s your healthy goal for this week? Share your ideas in the comments and inspire others! 💪
