Bring Blue Zones To Life: Health and Wellness Blog

Win a bike, discover healthy ways to cook, and learn to Zumba - Blue Zones come alive!

Last night Iowa had the first Blue Zones Kickoff in Waterloo – with great attendance and inspiring speakers! If you missed it, catch them tonight at the Cedar Falls Kickoff :). We learned about the discovery of Blue Zones, ways to make our community support healthy choices, and how to get ourselves and our worksites involved. We also had the chance to win a massage, bike, and mini Ipad in addition to the t-shirt and water bottle we received for attending. Plus local businesses and organizations shared how they can help us turn our lives and community “blue”.

 

In addition to participating as a volunteer and ambassador, in January I will start a Power 9™ activity series to learn AND experience each of these healthy habits shared by the original Blue Zones: move naturally, know your purpose, down shift, 80% rule, plant slant, wine at 5, right tribe, community, loved ones first. Do you have interest in Zumba, massage, wine tasting, a cooking class, and several more? If you can spare an hour Tuesday evenings, we will have fun discovering new ways to incorporate the Power 9™ in our lives! Come every week or even just one night – and bring a friend :).

Would you like an invitation to this series or do you have interest in hosting an evening (I still have a couple spots open)? For your FREE consultation (in person, over the phone, via email), speaking and training needs, tips, or gift certificates, please contact Jessica Crouch: www.ChooseToImprove.com, Jessica@OrganizeAnywhere.com, 319-504-6689. Remember, reaching a goal with help is better than not reaching it at all: working with busy women who are passionate about making a change in their health because they are “sick and tired” of being sick and tired - mentoring them using natural health & wellness so they can save money and sick days!
