Diabetes stall comes to Weston this month

DIABETES sufferers in Weston-super-Mare will be given a helping hand next week when a health stall dedicated to helping people with the disease comes to town.

Bristol-based health charity, the Vegetarian &; Vegan Foundation (VVF), is hosting the stall on Thursday, March 15, from 11am-3.30pm, in the Italian Gardens.

VVF health campaigner, Veronika Charvatova, says: “We will be offering free nutrition advice and diabetics will be able to find out about our D-Diet plan which has already been very successful in improving the health of diabetics and even reversing the condition.

“There will be lots of other free materials available, aimed at helping people with various other health problems including heart disease and breast cancer, plus information for children and pregnant women, healthy eating guides and fact sheets about improving your nutrition.”
