Happy February! The project of Eat Well, Live Well Pike County is now officially in its second month of sharing healthy recipes, exercise and fitness opportunities, healthy dining options, etc. for the good folks of Pike County. The goal is to reach as many people as possible and encourage them to look at their current lifestyles and see where healthy adjustments can be made. Extreme measures aren't necessary for the vast majority of us. Something as simple as cutting out one sugary snack a day or by-passing the fast food over-eaters special can make a real difference!
I was talking to Beth Schilling the other day while interviewing her introducing her gym. She asked me how I was going to get the word out beyond the regulars that were already reading health-related materials and learning good practices.
Good question.
And you, readers of this blog, are the answer. If each one of you give the website to a couple of people, we can more than likely double the readership. For those of you not getting the website in your email each day, check your spam boxes. It's probably drifting there. You can re-set your mailbox to make it a good thing to receive in your mailboxes. If you read the website as a link through Facebook, please share the post.
We have a rare opportunity to do something really neat...we can get the whole county (or the greater majority of it) involved in the idea of getting healthier. Perhaps we can work together and keep childhood obesity and other diseases at a minimum. Perhaps we can encourage those who know that it's time to turn around unhealthy practices. And, perhaps, we can raise our statistics for this county to be a little less sickly and a little more healthy for now and for generations to come.
Please come be a a part of the change. Spread the word.
If any of you have an idea to share to make this blog more helpful, please share it! Just drop your idea into the comments section. The blog belongs to everyone; with lots of ideas, it can be a really helpful place to all.
