May is anti-tobacco campaign month

Stopping smoking can drastically improve your health. Many people list "not wanting to pick up weight" as one of their reasons for not stopping.

Make some small changes to your eating habits before you quit and you will not be tempted to overeat:
  • eat small meals at breakfast, lunch and supper, and concentrate on cutting down on fat intake
  • have a small low-fat snack in between meals e.g. tub of yoghurt, dried fruit, fresh fruit, handful of nuts and seeds
  • drink at least six glasses of water and add some flavour with sliced lemon/cucumber/strawberries/mint leaves
  • take a general multivitamin and mineral supplement to help your body cope
