Exercise is one of the best things you can do to combat chronic diseases like Diabetes, but there’s no need to run a marathon or hit the gym to see the benefits. Make a plan to walk around the block once a day, spend some time in the garden or ditch the car and walk to work, or into town to meet a friend. Pictured participating in group exercise are NCN Health Cobram’s Allied Health Assistant Josh Foley with Vincent Grasso and Royce Bastin. Eat well and feel well Perhaps you need advice on nutrition? NCN Health can help. You can make an appointment to talk to our diabetes educator on all the factors that could help manage your health and create better health outcomes. Pictured are the team at Primary Health Numurkah standing in a ‘blue circle’.
