NHS Quit Smoking

NHS Quit Smoking works by giving you a guide to follow for 28 days to help you stop smoking. You complete tasks that can help you beat your cravings and focus on your goals. And you get daily messages of support and advice. You can track how many days you have had without a cigarette and how much money you have saved.

NHS Drink Free Days

NHS Drink Free Days works by asking you how much alcohol you drink each day. You then choose one or more days per week to not drink any alcohol and track your progress.

Get tips, advice and reminders on how to manage your drinking habits. If you try to stop drinking alcohol on your own and you start shaking, sweating or feeling anxious, please speak to your health or care professional straight away.

NHS Food Scanner

You open the NHS Food Scanner app on your phone and then point your smartphone camera at the barcode of a food or drink. The app will show you how much sugar, saturated fat and salt per pack, 100 grams, liquid millilitre, or portion of that food or drink.

With some smartphones, you can use augmented reality (AR) to see a 3D picture of the sugar, fat and salt. The app suggests a smart food swap for you if you want a food or drink with less sugar, fat or salt.

NHS Active 10 Walking Tracker

You use NHS Active 10 Walking Tracker by tapping on the app when you want to go for a walk, and putting your phone in your pocket. The app works by using the sensors in your smartphone.

The app will count your steps, including how fast you walk. When you do 10 minutes of fast walking, the app will reward you with a badge.

Smiling Mind

The Smiling Mind app has been developed by psychologists and educators, and downloaded by millions of people. It can support you with developing mental fitness skills, and can also help you:

• Increase your sense of calm
• Manage your technology use
• Enhance the important relationships in your life
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Improve mental health and wellbeing

Sleepful

Sleepful works by providing you with an 8 step guide that includes thinking about how you sleep and what can help you sleep better. You can watch videos or read about how to sleep better, keep track of how well you are sleeping in a diary and listen to recordings to help you relax.

Sleepful uses a type of therapy called cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) to help you understand how your thoughts, feelings and surroundings can affect your sleep.

Couch to 5k

Couch to 5K is a running plan for absolute beginners. It was developed by a new runner, Josh Clark, who wanted to help his 50-something mum get off the couch and start running, too.

The plan involves 3 runs a week, with a day of rest in between, and a different schedule for each of the 9 weeks.
