Spring Wellness
Challenge
Diane Barga, OSU Extension, Darke County
The 2016 Spring Wellness Challenge is a free six week on-line email
challenge designed to help participants improve their health by
encouraging physical activity, enjoying healthy foods, and practicing
sound fitness suggestions. Those who sign up will receive two weekly
e-communications from Ohio State University Extension containing
research based nutrition, health and fitness information. Additional
tracking logs will be available for download to help participants
document their progress, as well as access to supplemental information
available on Blogs and Facebook. A pre- and post-assessment online
survey will be used to gather comments to improve future challenges and
track members’ progress.
Participants will learn about the six of the dimensions of wellness and
these healthy lifestyle behaviors:
Vegetables and fruits – find ways to eat vegetables and fruits on half
your plate.
Fitness Focus – learn ideas to move more to reduce stress.
Local Foods – visit a Farmers’ Market of local foods section of your
store.
Gardening with herbs – plant an herb, vegetable or fruit in a container
or plot garden.
Seasoning with herbs – use herbs instead of salt to season foods.
Take it outside- spend time enjoying nature this Spring.
Stress relief – manage stress with a new strategy.
Positive attitude – enjoy a positive attitude by practicing gratitude.
