Balanced DietThe Government recommends an intake of at least five portions (e.g. an appleor a handful of grapes) of fruit or vegetables per person per day to helpreduce the risk of some cancers, heart disease and many other chronicconditions.In 2006, the Cumbria Quality of Life Survey found that 36% of people inSouth Lakeland consumed 5 or more portions of fruit and vegetables a day.This is higher than the 28% average for Cumbria. Figure 8.5 shows in moredetail the daily fruit and vegetable consumption in South Lakeland by age.Although South Lakeland as a whole has a high level of fruit and vegetableconsumption, there are inequalities within the district between age groups.Most notably the youngest age group performs badly, with 40% of those aged16-34 consuming only 1-2 portions a day. Above the age of 34, dietary habitschange and 38% (rising to 42% with increasing age) of the populationconsume 5 or more portions of fruit and vegetables a day.South Lakeland Baseline Assessment 2009 26

SmokingSmoking is known to be the principal avoidable cause of premature deaths inthe UK. There are currently 106,000 deaths in the UK caused by smokingevery year (87,000 in England) and over 9 million adults in England stillsmoke. The Department of Health has a tobacco program which hascontributed to a national reduction in smoking rates: 1998 adult smoking ratesin England have fallen from 28 percent to 22 percent in 2006 which is over 1.6million fewer smokers.Currently there are no accurate local figures for the number of peoplewho smoke in South Lakeland. However Figure 8.6 shows synthetic estimatesof smokers calculated by taking national statistics and applying them to thepopulation of South Lakeland.South Lakeland has the lowest prevalence of smokers in Cumbria(22.3%) and only 13 of the 47 wards have a higher percentage of smokersthan the national average of 24%. The three wards with the highest levels are:Kendal Far Cross (33.2), Kendal Kirkland (35.3) and Windermere Town(38.2). Kendal Highgate has the lowest percentage of smokers (11%).Throughout South Lakeland there is a variation of 12% between wards.South Lakeland Baseline Assessment 2009 27
