British Heart Foundation Health & Wellbeing Day (Hadyn Ellis Building)
A team of British Heart Foundation experts, including a Dietician and physical activity expert, will be on hand to guide you through four zones. These fun and interactive sessions will help raise awareness of various health issues and promote a healthier lifestyle:
- Be active zone: Take part in our interactive Wii fit and step challenge to find out how much physical activity can improve health, and how much you should be doing.
- Eat well zone: Make sense of food labels, get a BMI check and look at food groups in this hands-on session with a British Heart Foundation Dietician.
- Think well zone: Are you and your colleagues coping with stress in a healthy way? You will learn techniques to improve mental wellbeing with our stress thermometer and active distraction exercises.
- Changing habits zone: Play the beer goggles game and try the Smokerlyser test to learn about the impact of excessive alcohol intake and smoking on health.
You can book onto one of six hour-long sessions (all located at the Hadyn Ellis building):
- Break
If you participate in one of these sessions, you will take away a Heart Health Bag containing:
- Booklets on healthy eating, physical activity and wellbeing
- The latest edition of our Heart Matters magazine
- A resistance band and exercise sheet
You will also have the chance to join Heart Matters, a free service, to help you live with a healthy heart by offering a magazine, an online lifestyle check and a helpline staffed by cardiac nurses.
This event promotes the mental health of those who live and work in higher education settings and is delivered by the Cardiff University Staff Counselling Service and British Heart Foundation, supported by Sustrans.
