Useful Health Tips
Avoid drastic dieting as it puts a strain on your health and any weight lost is often rapidly put back on again once the diet is over. Instead, choose a long term diet that you enjoy and that fits in with your life style. For example, choose low fat but filling meals that include pasta, rice or potatoes with salad and a small portion of lean meat or fish. Maximum benefit will be derived from accompanying the diet with moderate intensity activity for at least 30 minutes five times a week. Always consult a doctor before starting a diet or an exercise programme.
