Rehab News: More advice on alcohol and healthy living from UK Department of Health

New public health campaigns launched in 2008 and 2009 will help people understand Government guidelines around healthy eating, exercise and drinking alcohol Public Health Minister Dawn Primarolo outlined recently.

Responding to figures released today by the NHS Information Centre, the Department of Health highlighted that ongoing and future campaigns would help people to live more healthily.

The Know Your Limits Units campaign, launched in May, is getting across the message that men should not regularly exceed three to four units and women should not regularly exceed two to three units of alcohol a day.

The aim of the Smoke-free legislation, introduced in July 2007, was to cut the harm caused by second hand smoke and it is working. Air quality in pubs and bars has improved dramatically from "unhealthy" average levels before 1 July 2007, to levels that are comparable to outdoor air.

Next month sees the launch of the ambitious Change4Life movement. Change4Life will help families recognise the danger that a poor diet and lack of exercise can cause to their health. It will give advice on how to maintain a healthy diet and be more active. The campaign will include information on portion size.

And the survey shows people know the importance of healthy living. It shows a second successive year in which levels of obesity in two to ten year olds are below the decade-long rising trend that the Health Survey for England began to measure in 1995.

Commenting on the survey, Ms Primarolo said:
"It's good to see that more people are taking steps to live more healthily. Today's figures show that the levels in childhood obesity may be beginning to level out - that's good news but too many people are overweight. In the New Year we will launch our ambitious Change4Life movement. Change4Life will help families to move more, eat well and live longer.

"Thanks to the Know Your Limits campaign more people now know how many units are in their drinks. And the smoke-free law is the single most important public health initiative for a generation. Because of the new smoke-free law, thousands of lives will be saved and the health of everybody is being protected."

Mid-year tracking research on the Know Your Limits campaign has shown that we have already been successful in raising awareness of the:

• 
  Number of units in drinks: the percentage of people correctly saying that there are three units in a large glass of wine (250ml at 12.5% ABV) rose from 6 21%.


• Daily units guidelines: those giving the correct figure for men (3-4 units) has risen from 29-34% and for women (2-3 units) has risen from 34 -37%.
