10 top tips for wellbeing...

1 Never skip breakfast – it's the most important meal of the day, yet many people skip it, thinking they’ll lose weight. Breakfast literally means ‘break the fast’. After 12 hours or so of not eating your body is crying out for some healthy food

2 Drink 2 litres of water every day

3 Keep an eye on serving sizes – you need to have a good balance of food groups at every meal but you should also be aware of your portion sizes. If you need to cut down, here’s a trick that will help: use a slightly smaller plate and you will feel as though you are eating the same amount

4 Stock up on fibre – adults should aim for an intake of around 18 grams a day, or even a little more

5 Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables – aim for five a day and remember, frozen vegetables are just as good, and in some cases, better than fresh vegetables

6 Keep a food and mood diary – it can be very revealing!

7 Eat three full, balanced meals per day – skipping meals just slows down your metabolism which means that your body stores food, instead of burning and converting it into energy

8 It's never too late to take up exercise! Research shows that improvements in strength, flexibility and cardiovascular health can be developed at any age. To make sure you take up the right activity however, enlist the help of a qualified instructor at your local leisure centre

9 Gardening is a great leisure activity that varies in intensity from light weeding work to heavy digging. When lifting, carrying or bending down, aim to put your body weight into your legs by bending at the knees and hips and keeping your back up straight. Gardening is particularly good for building strength

10 Find something to look forward to. If you're going through a hard time, remember that it will pass and you will sooner or later be somewhere where you want to be, or doing something you want to do. Allow these moments to pull you through your present difficulties
