How’s your health? The NHS has just made it a little bit easier to find out.   Following on from the great success of BabyLife and TeenLife Check the NHS has recently launched MidLifeCheck.   It’s a free confidential and easy to use online service for anyone over 40 that helps you get answers to important health questions.   So whether you want to lose weight, feel less stressed, cut down on your drinking or be more active, NHS MidLifeCheck can help you get started.  The website has 4 easy steps:

1. Answer simple questions about you and your lifestyle.
2. Get results and advice based on your answers.
3. Plan some small changes and set yourself goals.
4. Track your progress and sign up for free texts, emails or letters to support you.

If you would like to discuss any of the information with your GP it’s easy to print out the results to take along to your next appointment.  And remember it’s free, so don’t delay in trying out this new service.   www.nhs.uk/midlifecheck
