Why?
A significant proportion of ill health, for example, coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes and many cancers, can be prevented by making changes to your lifestyle.
Good health is perhaps our greatest asset. There is increasing recognition of the importance and value of better health and many people and organisations are working towards improving health and well being. Cardiff Healthy City and Health Challenge Cardiff supports this work across the city.
Poor health has a major impact on individuals and their families, communities, the economy and importantly, on health and social care services.
