One You is here to help you get back to a healthier you

Without even knowing it, by the time we reach our 40s and 50s many of us will have dramatically increased our risk of contracting diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer and increased our risk of suffering a stroke.

Why? Because of how we live our lives. Making small changes now can improve our health right away and double our chances of staying healthy as we get older.

Whether we are eating the wrong things too much and too often…. or drinking more than we should….or that we continue to smoke despite everything we know …. or that we are just not being active enough...all these small things can add up to have a huge influence on our health.

There's a once in a generation opportunity to have a grown up conversation about the way we live our adult lives. And One You is here to help.

The aim is to support adults to make simple changes towards a longer, healthier and happier life. Plus, On You will provide tools, motivational support and encouragement every step of the way.

One You asks, How are you? A quick and easy online quiz helps people recognise the things they can do to improve their health in the long term.
