Each of these lifestyle issues has a major impact on health and wellbeing but in addition the three interact with each other so increasing their effect. This report aims to set out the different ways these issues affect us throughout our lives, how we can make healthier choices and how the Council and local partners can act to enable us to make these choices. We have seen a huge rise in the proportion of What we eat is constantly in the news. In October people who are above a healthy weight with 2015 the World Health Organisation stated that red nearly two thirds of people in England now obese meat probably raises the risk of developing some or overweight. This not only has a huge financial cancers and processed meat does raise the risk of impact on the NHS (with direct NHS costs of colorectal cancer1.

The cause of being overweight or obese visual guide to what a healthy diet consists of is the is consuming more energy in the form of calories ‘eatwell’ plate (figure 1 on page 17). in food than is used by the body. The amount of energy used can be increased by physical activity. The report looks at the impact of diet across the So to achieve a healthy weight those of us who life course, commencing with pregnancy, the early are overweight or obese need to exercise more years and children and young people. In the last and eat well. of these the concerning rise in local children who are above a healthy weight between reception year (17.3%) and year 6 (28.5%) is highlighted. Dietary issues affecting adults and older people are discussed in chapters 1.4 and 1.5 and in the latter chapter the impact of malnutrition is noted, with 14% of all people aged over 65 being malnourished. Across the country malnutrition accounts for £18 billion in health and social care costs, which means that malnutrition in older people is a greater financial issue than obesity. Other chapters in this section examine food poverty, school food, food growing including allotments and healthy catering. 4 Introduction Taking sufficient physical activity – at least 150 Undertaking physical activity can be made easier minutes of moderate intensity activity a week for by having access to green spaces and providing adults – reduces the risk of a wide range of illnesses free opportunities for exercise such as outdoor including coronary heart disease, strokes, mental gyms and fitness trails.

The importance of and so get many more people on their bikes like physical activity in helping to ensure the best start their Dutch counterparts. in life for young children is highlighted in chapter 2.2 as are the Department of Health guidelines for under fives which should be widely publicised. In older children, the extent to which girls take less exercise than boys is both a national and local issue that should be prioritised for action. The chapters on adults (2.4) and older people (2.5) highlight a range of ways in which people can be more active. These include the Get Active exercise referral programme for those with health conditions, Walking for Health (a national programme suitable for all the family) and Fit as a Fiddle which is focused on older people and has supported over 1,100 Kingston residents to increase their fitness. 5 Annual Public Health Report The section of the report dealing with alcohol also The interplay section looks at the interaction starts with a life course approach. It includes a between all three lifestyle issues.

  • 1 Kingston Hill Place
    KINGSTON HILL PLACE: HISTORIC MANSION OF HANDSOME ELEVATION. David A Kennedy, PhD 13 September 2017 ABSTRACT Kingston Hill Place is a grand mansion, built in 1828 by Samuel Baxter of Regent Street, that is the centrepiece of a gated housing estate on Kingston Hill, KT2 7QY. Its first occupant was Robert Lawes Esquire. Thereafter a number of interesting people lived there, including Viscount Pollington and Bonar Law MP. was occupied by a number of interesting people before it became a convalescent home for members of the women’s services during WW2 and thereafter was a campus of Kingston Polytechnic until about 1991. An enigmatic granite obelisk in the grounds possibly may have been a silent memorial to one or more of the deceased members of the family of the first occupant, Robert Lawes Esquire. Research on a local tradition that the estate was used by the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, for trysts with Lillie Langtry indicted that, if they did take place, they would have occurred between 1874-1879 during the tenancy of Robert Leonard Trollope, a rich, and probably well-connected property developer. INTRODUCTION Kingston Hill Place is a grand late-Georgian mansion that is the centrepiece of a gated housing estate on Kingston Hill, KT2 7QY. This article is based on research carried out for the Kingston Hill Place Residents’ Association and the findings outlined to them in a talk given on 27 May 2015. The first part looks at the origins of Kingston Hill Place. The second part reviews past occupants of the mansion.
