Like many residents, I hold my hands up and admit that I’ve not always led the healthiest lifestyle.
Until six years ago I was a smoker, which had its obvious health implications, and in days gone by eating on the run and taking too many indigestion tablets caused me kidney stones.
The real light bulb moment was 40 years ago when I was advised to give up drinking because my liver was deteriorating.
I know I’m not alone – there are changes that we could all make to improve our health and ultimately extend our lives.
