The earlier you start the habit of an active and healthy
lifestyle the easier it will be to maintain.
Getting involved in active living is a good way to improve your
overall health and well being. It will make you feel better,
more awake and help you to concentrate better.
Why not set yourself a challenge or enter an
event to help motivate you to be more active?
Activities do not have to be sports if you do not enjoy
them. There are other ways to get more active. You
could try walking or cycling to school, college or work.
Dancing is also a good way to get active or maybe
skateboarding.

Somerset visit our Young Person’s Key (YPK) section, the

It is also important to eat a healthy balanced diet with a
variety of foods including plenty of fruit and vegetables, starch
such as wholegrain bread, pasta and rice, some protein-rich foods
such as meat, fish, eggs and lentils and some dairy. For more
