Take the CF Health and Wellness Challenge - 01-31 May 2013

Did you know a belly laugh is equal to the cardiovascular benefits of 10 minutes on the rowing machine? Did you also know that connecting with friends and family can strengthen your immune system function and lead to enhanced heart health? Good health is not just about exercise and eating well, it includes such things as reading a book, stretching, wearing your seat belt, learning a new skill, and so much more!

That’s why 19 Wing Health Promotion is proud and excited to announce the 2nd Annual CF Health and Wellness Challenge coming to you 1 May 13! You now have the opportunity to record all the healthy things you do every day with the possibility of winning some great prizes. Have you been meaning to get out for a walk but haven’t yet? No problem. Eat drive-thru more than you care to admit? Whatever! Everyone does something that’s good for them and now you have a chance to show it and win great prizes!

This may be just what you were looking for to get you motivated to make those healthy changes. 

This challenge is open to military members, family members (18 and over), and civilian DND/NPF/MFRC employees.  Check out the 19 Wing Health Promotion website for more information on registration and rules. http://www.cg.cfpsa.ca/cg-pc/comox/en/healthprograms/healthpromotion/hwchallenge/pages/default.aspx

So what do you have to lose? Defense Team members may register today by clicking on the Health & Wellness Challenge logo on the BBS “What’s New” page, and start recording your points May 1st. Military family members (18 and over) who would like to participate may be registered as above through a DWAN account holder. No matter what, you will be a winner!
