Physical health and mental health and wellbeing
Physical health and mental health are two sides of the same coin - one affects the other and vice versa. Improving our physical health can do a lot to improve our mental health and wellbeing.
This is why it's important that we look at the food we eat, the exercise we take, whether we smoke or take drugs or not and how much alcohol we consume.
