A healthy diet gives you energy, and helps to protect you against illness during the winter months. See our section on healthy eating for more information.

Regular exercise also helps to keep your immune system in good shape. It is also vitally important that your home is kept warm during the cold weather - living in a cold home can be a risk to your health. Our free advice leaflet Keep Out the Cold (PDF) gives information and advice on insulation and draughtproofing, making the most of your heating and dealing with bills.
