A new glossy health magazine has been launched by Fife-based NB Media Ltd aimed at all health conscious Scots.

Said editor Karen Murray: “Consultation with our readers led us to make the decision to relaunch Scottish Health News as a glossy magazine.Healthy You will retain much of the content of Scottish Health News but encapsulated in a more lively and readable format and with a lighter touch to the editorial.

“The magazine will cover a wide range of health related matters including topics such as exercise, fitness technology, complementary health and diet. Healthy eating advice will be on hand as well as plenty of tips on how to look and feel your best.”

Karen Murray added: “The editorial will include real life stories to inspire readers as well as a round up of all the latest health and beauty news.”

Fife's quality lifestyle magazine, Kingdom, is now in its third year and is growing in stature with each issue.

However, the time was right for a face-lift and publishers NB Media Ltd have given it a new up-to-the-minute look, with an open easy to read font and bright, lively design.

The editorial remains of the highest quality and continues to focus on the finer aspects of living in Fife today.
Published quarterly to coincide with the seasons, each full colour issue features informative and entertaining articles on history, people, wildlife, fashion, visitor attractions, sporting activities, walks, hotels, eating out and much, much more.

Kingdom is aimed at those who live in Fife as well as those visiting. It provides an authentic taste of what makes this county such a special part of Scotland, highlighting the places to see and visit.

The magazine is available on subscription and throughout the region at newsagents, garage forecourts, supermarkets, visitor attractions and specialist retail outlets.

"It delves into Fife's history as well as looking at life in the Kingdom as it is today with its fine architecture historical sites, stunning landscape and dramatic coastline and its shopping, galleries, restaurants and hotels.

The success of Scottish Health News has resulted in it being turned from a b-monthly into a monthly publication.

Covering all aspects of health issues in Scotland, Scottish Health News has enjoyed a fantastic reception since it was relaunched by NB Media over two years ago.

15,000 copies are distributed to a variety of outlets throughout central and eastern Scotland, including leisure, health, sport and fitness centres, community centres, health food shops, hospitals, doctors surgeries, and local authorities and major occupational health providers.

The free paper has a whole host of useful and informative sections and features including children's health, men's health, healthy eating and how to keep fit.

Editor Karen Murray said: "The response we have received for Scottish Health News has been phenomenal and the publication just keeps on growing. Health is a major issue in Scotland today and Scottish Health News is the only publication that focuses on all the relevant issues, and which presents them in a lively and easy-to-understand manner."

Branching further into the publishing world, NB Media has acquired both The Edinburgh Times and Scottish Health News, two Edinburgh newspapers, which we have given a new look and believe will be very successful.

The Edinburgh Times incorporates The Leither and will be published monthly with 20,000 copies distribution throughout the city. With unbiased news reporting, sports and entertainment news and a showcase of Edinburgh's attractions and businesses, the newspaper will be an essential read for everyone in Edinburgh.

"The Edinburgh Times is a new challenge for NB Media but one we relish and with our experience we will produce a top quality newspaper," states Editor, Keith Broomfield.

Scottish Health News will be published on a monthly basis and will cover all health and lifestyle related matters, from healthy eating to getting fit, disease prevention to ailment cure, wellbeing to the latest health research. Scotland is not considered a healthy nation and we hope to use Scottish Health News to promote healthy living in Scotland.
