Your health

Exercise class
Exercise is one way you can live a longer and healthier life

NHS Tower Hamlets not only treats people who are unwell but we also work with local residents, the council and community organisations to help you live a healthier lifestyle.

 

Some conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancers and lung diseases, are more common in our borough than in other parts of London.

 

The risk of developing these diseases is partly dependent on how successful you are at:

 

  • keeping your blood pressure down,

  • eating well,

  • maintaining a healthy weight,

  • not smoking.

 

This part of our website provides advice, information and links to further sources of support, to help you enjoy life and look after your health.
