Learn How to Eat Healthy and Become More Active
(Salisbury, Maryland) If you are interested in losing weight, preventing diabetes and cardiovascular disease, or just want to work toward better health, join our Lifestyle Balance Program starting March 19. The Wicomico County Health Department and the Mid-Shore Family YMCA are partnering to offer this second 16 week session on Tuesday evenings at 5:15pm at the Y in Salisbury. 
Certified Lifestyle Coaches will lead weekly educational sessions on healthy eating and physical activity, monitor participants’ weight loss, and provide individual support and coaching. Cost is $24 for Y members and $48 for non-members and includes program notebook, tracking journals, incentives, and use of the Y gym, pool and exercise classes. 
“We are pleased to continue our partnership with the Y and again offer the Lifestyle Balance Program for our county residents. I encourage those adults struggling with weight loss or at risk of developing type 2 diabetes to sign up.” says Lori Brewster, county Health Officer. 
“This program gives people the tools to change their behavior with a focus on good nutrition and increased activity. Many people will lose weight, but more importantly, they will reduce their risk of serious disease,” states Melissa Denault, Y Executive Director.
