Exercise

What you do with your body can have a powerful affect on your mind. Mental wellbeing means feeling good, about yourself and about the world around you. It means being able to get on with life in the way that you want.

Water. Be aware, too little or too much is a dangerous thing

Some parts of the country are experiencing really hot weather. If you are drinking too little water, you could be at the risk of dehydrating. Our bodies are designed to work at an ideal temperature.
