Keeping your body healthy

Healthy Bones

It is very important to keep our bones healthy throughout our lives. The skeleton is living tissue which needs to be nourished and exercised to keep it strong. Like other parts of the body it has to be protected from disease.

Better hearing

Like many people, you might find it harder to hear as you get older. Gradual hearing loss is a natural part of ageing although you may not notice it until you are in your 60s or 70s

Better sight

As we grow older, our sight tends to change naturally, so that almost everyone over the age of 65 needs to wear glasses. Regular eye tests and suitable glasses will increase the chances of your sight remaining good.

Fitter feet

Looking after your feet is one of the most important aspects of personal ealth care, whatever your age. During your lifetime, your feet could walk the equivalent of four times around the world! To make sure that your feet stay fit, you need to look after them, keeping them clean, warm and well supported.
