Happy New Year to all of our wonderful staff and patients! 🎉🎆

Don’t use the cold winter months as an excuse to stay in and lounge around. Instead, get out with the whole family to try out a new activity –maybe ice skating, or taking a bracing winter walk on the beach or through the park.
Regular exercise helps control your weight, boost your immune system, and is a good way to break the tension that can build if the family is constantly cooped up inside the house.

When it’s cold and dark outside, it can be tempting to fill up on unhealthy comfort food. However, it’s important to ensure you still have a healthy diet and include five portions of fruit and veg a day.
Winter vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, swede and turnips can be roasted, mashed or made into soup for a comforting winter meal for the whole family.

Merry Christmas to our hardworking staff and loyal customers!
We hope you have an amazing Christmas and an even better New Year. 🎅

Food packs should display how much exercise a person would need to take to burn off the calories contained in the product, UK researchers say.
