Food
- try to have a diet that gives you your essential vitamins, with enough fruit and vegetables to balance the junk food and snacks. Drinking lots of water will help you feel good.
Exercise - it can
help you meet people and
improve how you feel about
everything else. Most
places offer free or reduced
rates if you are a young
person or on benefits.
Sleep - the amount
we need varies but if
you have too little it
will start to tell and
you may get ill and down.
It is best to have regular
sleeping hours.

Money
doesn't go far but these
ideas may help.
- Shopping
in discount stores like
Kwik Save, Lidl and
Aldi saves money. Look
out for special offers
and reduced prices.
- Small
food stores are expensive
so try to avoid shopping
there.
- Pasta
and rice are cheap to
buy, really filling
and healthy.
- Buying
fresh fruit and vegetables
as you need them stops
them going off.
- Meat
from a local butcher
can be cheaper than
supermarkets.
- It
is generally cheaper
to make meals rather
than buy ready-made
ones so get a cookery
book from the library
or a second hand shop
and see what you can
create.
- When
you cook a meal make
extra and freeze some
for another time.
- If
you've got food left
over try and use it
for another meal rather
than throw it away.

- Find
out if your Council
offers leisure cards
that allow you to use
leisure centres cheaply
or for free.
- It
is free to register
with a doctor and a
dentist and this means
you have someone to
go to if you need to.
- You
might be entitled to
free prescriptions –
ask your doctor or Jobcentre Plus
.
- Cigarettes,
alcohol and drugs are
really expensive. You
should try working out
how much you spend each
week and see if you
can cut down. They only
make you feel better
in the short-term and
long-term can lead to
you getting really down.
