What is good health?

Being in good health means something a little different to different people. You might hear people talking about how important it is to have a balanced diet eating lots of fruit and vegetables, and eating less fatty and fried food. You might also hear people talking about how important it is to take regular exercise, particularly exercise which raises your heartbeat (aerobic exercise).

In this section, we focus on the areas of health that young people talk to us about and are concerned about the most.
