Mayor Claude Ramsey recently held a press conference to announce the new advertising campaign for Step ONE. The ad's, running on television and displayed on billboards, will promote the two main ideals of the Step ONE program.
To increase the awareness of the need for all of us to move more for better health is the "Just Move It" campaign. Being sedentary has become a major problem and a contributor to such diseases as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. The "Just Move It" slogan is to stress the need to add movement into our normal day. Taking the stairs, parking farther away to walk to work or go to a store, and walking or biking during a break are all great ideas to increase our health.
"Eat Smart- 5+ Fruits and Vegetables Every Day" has been created to emphasize how our health is greatly improved when we eat nutritious foods. Many foods we eat today have a lot of taste but have empty calories. This means the food doesn't help our bodies in any way and actually contribute to health difficulties. Our message is to increase the consumption of nutritious foods, such as fruits and vegetables, and eat other foods in moderation.
Step ONE would like to thank all of the people involved in our community for their efforts in this campaign. We all can truly have positive health benefits and feel better if we "Just Move It" and "Eat Smart- 5+ Fruits and Vegetables Every Day".
