Call You and Yours: Have you put on weight this last year?

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Call You and Yours: Have you put on weight this last year? Tell us why. Call 03700 100 444. Two thirds of adults in the UK are overweight or obese and a third of children leave primary school overweight or obese. During lockdown, surveys suggest we’ve eaten and drunk more, with many of us exercising less too. So what can be done to tackle this and how is the extra weight affecting our health? While many of the things we love have been unavailable over the last year, there's always been food and drink. Some of us have found it hard to resist comfort-eating. Is that you? Or perhaps you have found ways to manage your weight. Tell us your experience. Call 03700 100 444. Producer: Jonathan Hallewell Presenter: Winifred Robinson
