Change4life is a campaign that has be launched within England and Wales, to help promote a health life style and tackle the uprising of obesity.
As a Welsh citizen I have used the welsh version of the website. It comes in both Welsh and English (so there is no excuse not to have a little look). On the website you can get a FREE personal health assessment - which gives you a break down on the 5 main areas they are trying to promote.
- Diet
- 5 a day
- Snacks
- Exercise
- Alcohol consumption
- Fibre swap
Once you have completed the assessment your results are scored on a traffic light system GREEN ,YELLOW, RED. It gives advice on what you are doing well in, what you need a little improvement with and what you need to change.
If that hasn't sealed the deal with you yet, you may like to know that not just adults can benefit from this campaign , children and families are also able to participate. The website is bright and user friendly - which I think will benefit the children as it can be see as fun.
Along with tips and tricks to change and maintain a good life style, the website has recipes and meal ideas included. It helps you to have a variety of breakfast, lunch and tea options, which can not only be health food options but a great way to entertain your children thought holidays.
The recipes are straight forward and basic cooking ideas, which can benefit single parents or parent who need a little help on how to prepare quality, fresh meals. Even busy working parents who have little time to cook.
I challenge you to change 4 life
