Healthy Me is primarily about having fun! It is a free, 10 week child weight management programme for 7-11 year olds and their families. At Healthy Me they educate families about nutrition and physical activity, helping you to make small positive lifestyle changes to become healthier, and reach and maintain a healthy weight. They cover topics such as 5 a day, sugars vs fats, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals, the importance of hydration, shopping on a budget, making healthy packed lunches and many more. All of this is backed up with fun physical activity such as a supermarket sweep hunt fresh fruit and veg!
