Malawi Heritage UK for a Better Future

Our Winter health project aims at supporting and motivating the community to take proactive steps during winter ❄️ months so that  they can maintain good health.

Our focus is on three themes:

• Healthy eating and diet
• Keeping Warm 
• Staying Active

 Here are some of the Winter Challenges
1.Cold Weather: Can weaken the immune system, increase the risk of infections, and exacerbate existing conditions.
2. Reduced Sunlight: Leads to lower vitamin D production, which can impact mood and bone health.
3. Increased Indoor Time: Can lead to decreased physical activity and increased exposure to germs.
4. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): A type of depression that's related to changes in seasons.
