A healthier Central Coast for all

What is Healthy Bites?

Our Healthy Bites series provides bite-sized advice for adults aged 50 plus on a range of topics related to healthy ageing.

Each episode is around 60 to 90 seconds long and includes practical tips from a health professional that you can use in your daily life.

Topics range from how you can improve your strength and balance, and nutrition and fluid intake, to selecting the right footwear to stay on your feet, and how you can help your eyesight with simple changes around the home.
