Living Well Bradford - looking after your health and wellbeing while staying at home

Living Well Bradford aims to make the healthy choice the easy choice for people in Bradford District.

Our health can be affected by choices we make and the communities where we live, work and play.

Lots of people live with long term health conditions. Our goal is to lower the cases of these often preventable health conditions and to help people live longer, healthier lives.

Under the current circumstances this is even more important than ever.

To help, Living Well Bradford has put together some important advice about how to maintain your health and wellbeing while you and your family are staying at home, and staying safe.

The advice includes:

• Information on physical activity and healthy eating
• Being in isolation and managing relationships
• Managing your alcohol intake while self-isolating
• Support with smoking and drug use during the pandemic

You can find out more by visiting our Coronavirus – Health and Wellbeing Advice
