Being active is good for us in many different ways:
- It can help to reduce our stress levels
- Boost our confidence and mood
- Help us to concentrate
- Help us to sleep
- Help us look and feel better
- Reduce our risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and diabetes
Being active for a total of 30 minutes, 5 days a week will help our mental health and well-being. You don’t have to do it all at once either. Three lots of 10 minutes works just as well, and makes it easy to fit into everyday life.
To access free physical activity and leisure opportunities phone: Health and Well-being Manager – 01236 341968. They will discuss the best leisure option for you and book your enrolment session. Your GP / health care worker will also have to complete the North Lanarkshire Leisure Get Active Referral Form.
