There’s still time to join Live Healthy Iowa

Veterans Memorial Hospital is encouraging individuals in the area communities to sign up to participate in Live Healthy Iowa for the next 10 weeks.  The Live Healthy Iowa web-based program offers many advantages including personal on-line fitness tracking, weekly motivational emails and unlimited access to recipes, workouts and other health information, all easily accessible on the Live Healthy Iowa website.

For a small fee, each team member will receive a Live Healthy Iowa t-shirt and a free magazine subscription to one of many popular magazines. To get a team signed up, go to www.livehealthyiowa.org and click the sign-up button.

Veterans Memorial Hospital is also teaming up during Live Healthy Iowa with the local schools, attending various sporting events and handing out information on screen time and how much is too much, as well as vitamin D levels and all the illnesses and diseases having a healthy level of vitamin D can prevent.  Vitamin D tests are available through the wellness testing at Veterans Memorial Hospital any morning, Monday through Friday, as long as the person has fasted.

The Live Healthy Iowa 10-week challenge is going on now and runs through March 30, 2018. Veterans Memorial Hospital will then be awarding all those in the 10-week challenge with a participation prize at their annual wellness fair on May 9.
