Were giving pre-Christmas advice to older people to help them stay fit and healthy this Christmas. Our Keep Well this Winter top tips will help you, your family and friends stay fit and happy this winter. Angharad Phillips, Keep Well this Winter Coordinator says: “Stocking up on essentials such as long-life healthy foods, and medication for those who need it, can help you feel prepared during the cold months. “It’s really important to value our health and take care of ourselves to reduce the risk of illness. “We all have a duty of care to check on family and friends and older members of our communities, helping others to have a Merry Christmas.” Our tips include: 1. The offer of a warm meal or some shopping to an older person is a gift that costs nothing at Christmas – please give generously. 2. Be vigilant If there are no lights on in the evening or curtains remain closed in the day then let services know or knock on the door as you could save an older person’s life.
