Healthy For Life

 

November 17, 2022

The UT Extension Office recently collaborated with Lewis Health Center to host a series of lunch and learn educational sessions that consisted of healthy eating, exercise, and utilizing a self- monitoring system.

There was a total of eight "Healthy for Life" sessions that focused on understanding food labels, decreasing sodium and sugar intake, recognizing good vs. bad stats (blood pressure, sugar, & cholesterol), and implementing a daily active lifestyle. Each session included instruction, hands-on activities, and demonstrations that encouraged individuals to follow a healthier lifestyle. The UT Extension Office and Lewis Health Center implanted these classes with research-based data designed by the American Heart Association and Aramark. Participants were provided with a healthy lunch during sessions and each individual was awarded a door prize upon completion of the class, courtesy of the "Healthy for Life" grant.

The UT Extension office is proud to implement the Healthy for Life® community program, an initiative led by Aramark and the American Heart Association. Healthy for Life® is a registered trademark of Aramark.
