They say that the greatest wealth you can have is your health. It’s really important to have a healthy body and a healthy mind. You need to take care of yourself because if you don’t then who will?

But what IS health? Everyone tells you that you need to be healthy but what does that involve? Different people will have different ideas about what being healthy is and that’s ok.

Here at CREATE we think that health is making sure you have a healthy body and mind and not just being disease free.

What does being healthy mean to you?

It might mean a few things like:

• eating a balanced diet with lots of healthy food (check out our Food and Nutrition section for some tips)

• having a positive body image

• getting plenty of exercise

• getting enough sleep each night

• keeping positive and thinking positive thoughts – trying not to stress out!

• not smoking, not taking any drugs and not getting drunk (check out the other page in the health section on drugs and alcohol for more information)
