About healthy lifestyle

A healthy lifestyle is important not only for our health but also our physical and mental wellbeing. It can be a combination of many things, including:

  • Eating healthy food
  • Physical activity and moving more
  • Mental health and wellbeing
  • Relationships
  • Alcohol and drugs
  • Vaccinations

See the Mencap website for more advice and support on a healthy lifestyle. It is important for you to speak to your doctor or medical professional if you start to feel unwell as early treatment can often resolve the problem.
