Five Steps to Wellbeing
There are five steps that we can take to improve our mental wellbeing. If you give them a
try, you may feel happier, more positive and able to get the most from your life.
Your mental health is important. Some mental illnesses, such as depression and anxiety,
are common. If you have such an illness, it's important to get the right treatment. However,
there's more to good mental health than avoiding or treating mental illness. There is also
positive mental wellbeing.
What is mental wellbeing?
Mental wellbeing is more than just happiness. It is about living in a way that is good for you
and good for others around you.
Mental wellbeing includes:
 Happiness
 Enjoyment
 Confidence
 Engagement with the world
 Being able to cope when times are tough.
Wellbeing and society
We have become richer over the last 50 years but our mental wellbeing has not improved.
Many of the things we often think will improve our mental wellbeing – such as more
possessions, more money to spend or expensive holidays –do not improve the way we feel
about ourselves and our lives.
Five steps to mental wellbeing
There are five steps we can all take to improve our mental wellbeing.
Connect – connect with the people around you: your family, friends, colleagues and
neighbours. Spend time developing these relationships.
Be active – you don't have to go to the gym. Take a walk, go cycling or play a game of
football. Find the activity that you enjoy and make it a part of your life.
Keep learning – learning new skills can give you a sense of achievement and confidence.
So why not sign up for that cooking course, start learning to play a musical instrument, or
figure out how to fix your bike?
Give to others – even the smallest act can count whether it's a smile, a thank you or a kind
word. Larger acts, such as volunteering at your local community centre, can improve your
mental wellbeing and help you build new social networks.
Be mindful –Think about your feelings and thoughts. Think about how you fit into the world
around you.

A healthy, varied diet
What is a healthy diet?
No single food contains all the things the body needs to be healthy. A good diet depends on
the balance of all the foods that are eaten over time. It should include a variety of foods. It
will also depend on how active the person is.
We need energy to carry out everyday tasks such as walking and moving. We also need
energy for the things we do without even thinking, such a breathing. A healthy diet will give
us all the energy we need. If we eat and drink more than we need then we will gradually put
on weight. This can cause problems in later life.
The Eatwell Plate shows us the different foods we need- and in what proportions
Each food group gives us different things we need for our everyday life so we need to eat
foods from all of the groups. Some foods should only be eaten as a treat and in small
amounts.
Fruit and vegetables give us vitamins, minerals and fibre. The advice is to eat at least 5
portions of different fruit and vegetables every day.
Most people should eat more starchy foods such as potatoes, bread, rice and pasta as
they are good sources of energy, vitamins and fibre. The advice is to eat these foods with
every meal. It is best to eat brown bread and brown rice or pasta as they have even more
fibre. Some people think starchy foods are fattening but in fact they help you feel full.
Dairy foods such as cheese, milk and yoghurt contain calcium and other
nutrients. The Eatwell Plate tells you how much you should eat compared to fruit,
vegetables and starchy foods
Lean meat, fish, eggs and beans provide protein. Try to eat oily fish at least once
a week.
Biscuits, fizzy drinks, crisps and cakes are high in sugar and/or fat. They are nice as
treats but should only be eaten in small amounts.
