Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the UK, with 1 in every 7 women being diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

If breast cancer is detected early, treatment is more likely to be successful and the chances of survival are higher.

One of the best ways to detect breast cancer early is to regularly attend breast screening. A mammogram is able to detect changes before any signs or symptoms appear, this is why it’s important to attend breast screening even if you feel fit and healthy.

Women (registered with an NHS GP) between the ages of 50-71 will be invited to attend free breast screening every 3 years. So please, if you receive your breast screening invitation, don’t delay, attend straight away

If your body is carrying excess weight, it can be exhausting.

It also puts extra strain on your heart, which can make you tired.

Losing weight can help you feel much more energetic.

Apart from eating healthily, the best way to lose weight and keep it off is to be more active and do more exercise.
