Why it’s time to lose those lockdown lbs

COMFORT EATING, BOREDOM AND STRESS CAN ALL CONTRIBUTE TO WEIGHT GAIN, BUT AS WE HEAD INTO WINTER, IT’S VITAL WE RESET OUR DIETS TO “HEALTHY” TO AVOID THE RISK OF SERIOUS ILLNESS

-

Health issues caused by those extra pounds can be the cause of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer, as well as complicati­ons with a Covid diagnosis. Making small changes to our diets

eating less high-calorie snacks and processed foods, and watching our portion sizes – can help us to manage our weight. Taking regular exercise (at least 150 minutes a week) will make a difference to your waistline and your wellbeing too.
