Timely health advice for farming families

FARMERS and their families are being reminded about the small changes to everyday habits that they can make to best deal with the rigors of the year ahead. With New Year’s resolutions typically waning for many of us already, timely messages about alcohol consumption, diet, exercise, stress and mental health are being shared online by the Yorkshire Agricultural Society (YAS) this week. Research suggests that getting more exercise, losing weight and improving diet are the most common New Year’s resolutions but only a quarter keep all of their pledges. Important health and wellbeing messages are usually shared by YAS’s Yorkshire Rural Support Network during free health checks delivered by fully trained health professionals at auctions marts and trade events throughout the year, however they have temporarily halted due to ongoing Covid-19 restrictions.
