NHS Ashford Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is promoting Self-Care Week which runs from Monday 18 November to Sunday 24 November.
Self-care is all about people taking control of their health and staying out of hospital. This is a message that's particularly important during the winter months for those with long-term conditions, such as heart conditions and lung disease.
When temperatures drop below freezing, those who have high blood pressure or who have suffered a stroke are at increased risk of illness.
Wrapping up warm, staying indoors, watching what you eat and drink and getting more exercise will improve mobility and help ease symptoms.
