Take 5 to Age Well

This report from UK think tank PolicyWISE proactively engages the public in actions to boost health and wellbeing for the short and longer term.

Take Five to Age Well (Take Five) policy brief is aimed at policy makers from all four nations.

This is a public health campaign and research project that proactively engages the public in actions to boost health and wellbeing for the short and longer term. The campaign targets people aged 50+ and asks them to ‘sign up’ and commit to a month of small, daily actions. Actions are themed under nutrition, hydration, social and cognitive stimulation, and physical activity. We support people during the month with regular email communications underpinned by behaviour change frameworks to turn those daily actions into habits for long-term health and wellbeing.
