Healthy Worcestershire shares summer health tips, sport, quizzes and scam advice

HEALTHY Worcestershire sessions are helping people stay well this June with a mix of tips, activities and friendly sessions across the county.

From June 1 the focus is improving your immune system over summer.

Sessions will look at how to keep your immune system strong, boosting it during the summer months. People will also learn how to make the most of fresh seasonal food and better weather to prepare for colder months.

The week starting June 8 is quiz week. There will be a fun general knowledge quiz for everyone to enjoy.

From June 15, sessions will focus on healthy snacks. Learn how to choose balanced snacks to keep energy levels and mood steady, maintain focus, and avoid overeating at mealtimes. The sessions will also include easy recipe ideas to try at home.

The week beginning June 22 is sports week, packed with safe and enjoyable games to help people get moving, whatever their fitness level. There is no need for sports kit, team up and represent your venue.

During the week of June 29, the focus is scam awareness. Sessions will help people spot common scams and stay safe. The focus will be on postal and telephone scams, with simple advice to share with others.

Lisa McNally, director of public health said: “These sessions are a great way for people to learn about a wide range of topics that can really support their health and wellbeing. From staying well in summer to healthy snacking and staying safe from scams, there is something useful for everyone.

“They are friendly and welcoming, and I would encourage anyone to come along, meet others and pick up simple tips that can make a difference.”

“Healthy Worcestershire sessions are open to everyone. They include light exercise, friendly chat and a cup of tea. All sessions are free. There is no need to book. People can simply drop in.”
