health message number 1

public health message is diverse relating many aspects of health, behavioural, promotional and more importantly those relating to lifestyles.

1. Healthy well balanced diet
2. At least 7 hours of sleep a day
3. Not Smoking
4. Exercising
5. Drinking alcohol in moderation (3 standard drinks for males/day and 2 for ladies)
6. Proper stress management
