Help will be on hand at an upcoming expo for Millmerran residents looking to improve or maintain their health.

The one-day event will feature more than 50 information and interactive stalls from local and visiting service providers.

Millmerran Multipurpose Health Service community health nurse Helen Blanch said a highlight of the day would be a presentation about sugar content in some drinks.

“Sugar has received a lot of attention lately and this demonstration by the Toowoomba Regional Council’s Change program will clearly illustrate how much sugar is contained in some drinks,” she said.

“People can then make their own healthy choices about what they and their families drink.”

The expo will also feature tai chi demonstrations, coffee and food in support of the Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea.

It will be held on May 19 in the Millmerran Aquatic Centre and Indoor Sports Centre from 9am to 3pm.
