OLDER people in Burnham and Highbridge are being encouraged to get a free guide to healthy living.

Produced by NHS England in collaboration with Age UK, the ‘Practical Guide to Healthy Ageing’ is packed with helpful advice.

The guide can help with looking after your health and keeping active, talking about medicines, getting flu jabs and other vaccinations, eating well and drinking plenty and keeping warm and well.

Copies of the guide will soon be available in local GP surgeries and pharmacists, or you can download a copy from NHS England website www.england.nhs.uk

There is also a Somerset ‘Guide to keeping happy and healthy in later life’ which covers a wider range of topics and includes details of local services and phone numbers, ask at your GP surgery.
