Some really good news today as the rise in childhood Obesity rates seems to have levelled off.
Back in September I meet with Health Secretary Andy Burnham where we discussed the Governments 5 a day Healthy eating campaign.
The key for Government both local and national is to encourage the concept of a healthy lifestyle with a good diet and regular exercise.
Their is proven link between poverty and bad health for example men in Chelsea and Kensington live to 83.1 years on average compared to 73 years in Manchester.
Ideally not only would it be good for the gap to narrow but for the men to live longer in Chelsea and Kensington as well.
