Norovirus is a stomach bug that causes diarrhoea and vomiting.
The average number of patients in hospital with norovirus each day last week rose to over 1,000 for the first time this winter.
It can spread very easily, but washing your hands frequently with soap and water is the best way to stop it spreading.
If you catch it, stay at home until two days after the symptoms stop. Don’t visit hospitals or care homes during this time.

An eating disorder is a mental illness.

Anyone can develop an eating disorder. It does not matter what your age, gender, social class, or ethnicity is, or where you live.

If you live with an eating disorder you:

might use food to try to manage your feelings,
will have an unhealthy relationship with food,
might be eating too much or too little,
might eat a lot of food in one sitting,
can worry about your weight or body shape, or
might become obsessed with food and your eating patterns.
