Healthy Living – awareness of what impacts upon our health is important from an early age. Education about smoking, sensible drinking, sexual health, healthy eating, food hygiene and regular physical activity are all important.
With over 30,000 deaths a year being caused by obesity (England) the cost to the country is estimated at up to 7.4 billion a year (National Audit Office: 2002) and a direct cost to the National Health Service of 500 million.
We can use the Life Skills Centre risk and safety scenarios to raise individual awareness of the importance of healthy living and the consequences of poor diet.
