NHS launches health and wellbeing quiz
Survey

The NHS has launched a Healthy Choices Quiz to help people make healthier choices.

The five minute quiz will give people personalised steps to boost their health, mood, and energy.

The quiz is interactive and mobile friendly. It supports the 10-Year Health Plan shifts from sickness to prevention and from analogue to digital.

It is designed to  identify healthy changes that people can make, and signpost to trusted NHS resources to support healthier living.

University College London research has estimated that 19 million adults in their middle years could boost their mood by making a healthy change. Increasing physical activity can improve mental wellbeing in just four weeks.

Health Minister Ashley Dalton said: "Taking this quick and easy quiz could be the first step for people to live healthier and happier lives.

"We’re doing our part to cut smoking, obesity and provide better mental health support - this quiz gives people the chance to help themselves by taking advantage of expert NHS advice at the touch of a screen.

"This simple, free and easily available quiz will bring expert NHS advice to your fingertips as part of our 10 Year Health Plan to move from treating sickness to preventing it."

Dr Radha Modgil, NHS GP and broadcaster, said: "As a GP, I know how important it is to make healthy changes that fit into your everyday routine, but knowing where to begin can be tough – that’s why I’m excited about the new Healthy Choices Quiz.

"It’s a simple first step that helps you understand where you’re at and gives you manageable tips that can boost your energy, lift your mood, and improve your physical and mental wellbeing.

"Whether you’re building on progress or just getting going, you’ll be supported by free NHS apps, tools and advice that can help you move towards a healthier, happier future in a way that feels right for you."
