Summer Family Makeover
Looking for a family program that will improve your overall health? Summer Family Makeover is a new wellness program aimed at inspiring the families of University of Alabama live healthier lives. Limited to the first 50 families of UA employees to register, the 6-week makeover journey will help participants to learn the five guiding principles of better health and wellness, while encouraging families to work towards goals together. Each day families will focus on:
·Eat - Five fruits and vegetables and one meal together as a family
·Drink - Five or more cups of water and other fluids to include one percent milk or 100 percent fruit juices.
·Think - Limit time on the TV/Computer to two hours. Plan and do one family activity together.
·Move - 60 minutes to include 5,000-10,000 steps per day.
·Rest - Nine or more hours for children and seven or more hours for adults
Kickoff for Summer Family Makeover is Thursday, June 18th from 4:00 - 7:00 PM at the university’s outdoor pool complex, and the 6-week program begins June 22nd.
