If you eat more than 90g of red or processed meat a day, it’s recommended to reduce your intake to 70g or less a day.

You can do this by eating smaller portions of red and processed meat, eating these meats less often or swapping them for alternatives.

 

 

 

 

 

A wide range of free 30 min nutrition webinars for all life stages and healthy recipe videos are available.

Springtime is coming and it’s good to see a change in the weather. Long may it last!

We have a number of great resources and opportunities in the Southern Area in this edition.  Firstly, on page 3, you will see the great new resource for schools to help address school anxiety and distress, following CiNI’s successful event last week. 

On page 8 you will see an invitation to parents/care givers and practitioners for an online health information session on Looking After Your Child’s Teeth by the Community Dental Service at SHSCT. And, as we are always keen to share funding opportunities, you will see information on page 12 about Holiday Grants from the Henry Smith Charity.

Plenty more included in this issue and see you again as we hurtle towards Easter!
