Physical activity is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Linked to other positive lifestyle choices, it promotes good physical health and contributes to people’s emotional and social wellbeing.

People need to manage the quantity, type and proportion of foods that they eat as part of a healthy lifestyle or, for sportspeople, as part of a training and performance regime.
