What can I do myself?
-
Take a Risk Assessment
-
Find out whether you are within the recommended weight range for your height
-
If you are overweight, adjust your diet to reduce weight
-
Change your diet permanently to ensure you are following the guidelines for healthy eating and alcohol consumption
-
Ensure you are taking the recommended amount of exercise - 'sedentary is the new smoking!' research shows that being sedentary poses a significant risk to health
