Enjoying the sunshine? Make sure you’re protecting your skin properly β˜€οΈ

Sunscreen is important, but it shouldn’t be your only line of defence. Wearing suitable clothing, spending time in the shade, and avoiding the sun when it’s strongest (11am–3pm) can all help reduce your risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage 🌀️

When choosing sunscreen, look for:
β€’ SPF 30 or higher to protect against UVB rays
β€’ At least 4-star UVA protection or a UVA symbol in a circle
β€’ Broad-spectrum protection covering both UVA and UVB β˜€οΈ

Don’t forget to apply sunscreen generously about 20–30 minutes before going outside and reapply every 2 hours, especially after swimming or sweating πŸ’§

Even water-resistant sunscreen needs reapplying, as water and towels can remove it more easily than you think 🌊

Staying active as you get older is one of the best ways to maintain independence, improve wellbeing and reduce the risk of conditions like heart disease and stroke. It’s never too late to start, and even small amounts of movement can make a difference. πŸ’™πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈβœ¨

For older adults, the NHS recommends:
β€’ Being active every day, even with light activities πŸŒΏπŸ’™
β€’ Aiming for around 150 minutes of moderate activity each week, such as brisk walking πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈβœ¨
β€’ Doing strength exercises at least twice a week to keep muscles strong πŸ’ͺ🩺
β€’ Including balance and flexibility activities to reduce the risk of falls βš–οΈπŸŒ±

Activities like walking, gardening, swimming or gentle exercise classes can all help improve physical and mental wellbeing, as well as reduce loneliness and support independence.

Maintaining a healthy weight is important for your overall health and wellbeing. Even small changes can make a big difference, helping to reduce your risk of serious conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. πŸ’™βš–οΈβœ¨

Losing just a small amount of weight, around 5–10% of your body weight, can have significant health benefits, including improving blood pressure, cholesterol and energy levels.

Simple ways to work towards a healthier weight include:
β€’ Eating a balanced diet and making healthier food choices πŸ₯—πŸŒΏ
β€’ Being more active and moving regularly πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’ͺ
β€’ Setting realistic, achievable goals πŸ“Šβœ¨
β€’ Making small, sustainable changes over time πŸ’™πŸŒ±

The NHS Better Health programme offers free tools, apps and a 12-week plan to help you build healthier habits and stay on track.
