Power 99 FM and The Rock Senior Account Executive Chris Belanger yesterday said the Health and Fitness Fair 2001 is a collaborative effort of health organizations, health insurance providers and health experts in the Northern Marianas.<\/p>\n
The fair will provide the community on-hand information and variety of health-related and fitness topics including preventative measures, treatments and demonstrations.<\/p>\n
Organizations participating in the Third Annual Health and Fitness Fair include Pacific Care Asia-Pacific, Commonwealth Health Center, PHI Pharmacy, Club Elan, Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Marianas Health Services, Moylans Insurance among others.<\/p>\n
These teams, Mr. Belanger said will thoroughly discuss the latest technology on acupuncture, updates on food and nutrition, breast and cervical cancer, dental and the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.<\/p>\n
The forum is part of the ongoing effort of the government to educate the community on various health-related issues believed to be affecting hundreds of individuals on the island.<\/p>\n
Based on the reports of the health department, there remains a growing concern on obesity, diabetes, and heart problems among members of the CNMI community.<\/p>\n
These health problems can be attributed to the so-called lifestyle of the islanders and the nutritional value of foods they consume, the report added.<\/p>\n
“This is to make sure that the people are aware and be conscious about their health,” the account executive said.<\/p>\n
The health department has attested to these facts and efforts have been stepped up to assist and prevent the cause of these health problems, said Mr. Belanger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
