IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH
6 MARCH 2006
Eating
well and getting fit will be highlighted at special drop-in awareness
sessions being organised at Wakefield district libraries.
Visitors
to the libraries can learn more about the link between being overweight
and the risk of diabetes and how this can be avoided with a healthy diet
and more exercise.
The
sessions will offer blood pressure and waist size checks, along with
information on healthy diets and exercise and useful web pages and books.
Library
staff, the Eastern Wakefield and Wakefield West's Primary Care Trusts,
Wakefield Council's Healthy Transport and Five-a-Day teams are working
together on the initiative.
Denise
Jeffery, Cabinet member for Culture, Tourism and Sport, said:
"According to most dieticians, there are no unhealthy foods, only
unhealthy diets. We hope that as many people as possible will come along
to the sessions."
Drop-in
awareness sessions are at Drury Lane Library, Wakefield, on Tuesday March
14 from 2pm to 4pm and at Normanton Library, Thursday March 16 from
2pm-4pm.
