▪️The National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom created a program called "Healthier You", where it offers a healthy habits initiative for people with Type 2 Diabetes, one of the risk diseases of NCDs that cause the death of hundreds of thousands a year. It is based on 4 pillars such as nutritional guidance, mental control that generates a conscious change in behavior, understanding the risks and support with physical activity.

▪️The "Healthier You" program offers free courses on healthy eating, emotional support and dissemination of physical activity with trained professionals, also making the program a PREVENTOR of health. It seeks to raise awareness to avoid diseases, as well as to be a tool for those who already suffer from them. It can be done online or through a group and face-to-face service.
