A special shout- out to Nat who's mum @Scared Mum is an online network member. Nat has shared her story notjust1in8 - They told me I was too young!

Making big changes to eating habits can be difficult. You are more likely to make long term, lasting changes if you make small, gradual changes to your current habits. One gradual way is by swapping some of your everyday choices with a healthier alternative. For example, swapping white rice for brown rice, white bread for wholemeal, or salt for herbs and spices. These simple changes can make a huge difference to your daily nutritional intake. For a whole list of smart swaps.
For everyone taking part in the fun run on Sunday this is for you! Have a lovely weekend.
