Dr Angad Saluja has a specialist interest in Sports and Exercise Medicine — the branch of medicine focused on physical fitness, the treatment and prevention of sport-related injuries, and the broader role of exercise in health and disease management.
Exercise is medicine. From managing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular risk to supporting mental health, musculoskeletal pain, and healthy ageing — physical activity is one of the most powerful tools in preventive healthcare. Dr Angad is passionate about working with patients to find the right level and type of activity for their individual circumstances.
The NHS advises that both men and women should not regularly drink more than 14 units of alcohol per week — and if you do drink that much, to spread it over 3 or more days rather than consuming it all at once. "Regularly" means drinking this amount most weeks.
Stopping smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health — and your chances of success are significantly higher with professional support. If you don't pay for prescriptions, the process is entirely free.
Maintaining a healthy weight reduces risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and several cancers. We offer personalised support — from 1:1 health trainer sessions to nurse-led appointments and referrals to specialist weight management services.
BMI gives a useful guide, but waist circumference is an independent marker of metabolic risk. Tummy fat (visceral fat) is more dangerous than fat elsewhere in the body.
