Weekly newsletter

FREE

Most Americans gain around one to three pounds

between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. While this amount doesn’t sound threatening, most people don’t lose the excess weight, and the cumulative effects over several years can contribute to a substantial increase in body weight. Not only does this impact one’s quality of life and self-esteem, but it also increases the risk for several chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes and even cancer. Maintain Don’t Gain is an eight-week self-directed program designed to help individuals maintain their weight during the holiday season, and to avoid the cumulative effects of gradual weight gain. The program includes weekly newsletters with strategies for adopting or maintaining health-promoting lifestyle behaviors, healthy recipes, stress management tools, physical activity suggestions and encouraging messages to increase and maintain motivation. Please contact the Baird Wellness Center to register at 361-5699 or ext. 33783 or email bsmoker@masonicvillages.org.
