Healthy Living

A healthy life means good physical and mental health. Your diet, exercise, quality of lifestyle and sense of belonging to or integration in a community, all contribute to healthy living.

Daily, balanced nutrition is essential for everyone whether weight-watching or not. Extreme faddish diets will not solve excess weight problems. GPs and dieticians can advise on sensible, weight-reducing diets. To see an NHS dietician, you need to ask for an appointment through your GP.

Belfast City Council’s leisure centres run day and evening exercise sessions. Find an exercise routine or activity which suits you and which you’ll enjoy.
