health promotion
This section gives details of the specialist health promotion services we are able to provide.
Why Should I Exercise?
Most people would agree that regular physical activity is good for you, but the majority of us don't do enough exercise to improve our health. Physical inactivity is equally as important as smoking cigarettes and an unhealthy diet in reducing chronic diseases. Adults who are physically active have a 20-30% reduced risk of premature death, and up to 50% reduced risk of developing the major chronic diseases e.g. CHD, stroke or cancer.
What Are The Benefits Of Exercise?
Taking regular exercise can help to protect you against heart disease, help you with weight loss, increase your strength, help you to feel more energetic, promote stress relief, increase well being and is an excellent way of making new friends.
