NHS Lanarkshire is supporting residents to stick to their new years resolutions by raising awareness of the free NHS online weight management programme over 12 weeks.
This programme is designed for over 18’s and is a programme which encourages healthier behaviour choices, that then turn into positive daily habits.
Each week of the programme varies to include:
A wide range of easy-to-follow wellbeing topics
Christina McKelvie, SNP MSP for Hamilton Larkhall and Stonehouse said:
“Covid has made it really hard to try and stay healthly, especially with gyms closing and shops being short on supplies.
“Having a new year’s resolution and sticking to it can be very difficult for everyone, which is why this programme was designed to focus on long term behaviour changes which then make a positive difference to our lifestyle.
“There is lots of evidence showing that being active and eating well affects both mental and physical health. This is a free programme and for those who are considering making positive changes, this support will be massively helpful.”
