Healthy Lifestyles Advisors: Eat Well

Eat Well tags

The North Somerset Healthy Lifestyles Advisors can support you to Eat Well with 1-1 or group support available over a duration of 12 weeks.  Support encourages an overall healthy, nutritionally balanced, and enjoyable diet in line with current eat well guidelines.

Watch our animation for more information about the help available to you:

 

Depending on what your eat well goals might be our Healthy Lifestyles Advisors can facilitate changes in shopping, cooking and eating, supporting you to move away from high fat, processed foods.  We support those on low incomes to shop and cook for the family at a lower cost, signposting to local food support provision and other cost of living support.
