Did you know that patients of healthy health workers have better outcomes, BUT a survey of 206 MOH staff found that 9 out of 10 felt they needed to exercise more, 1 in 5 smoked, and the most common foods eaten by MoH staff at work was noodles and keke! At registration you can: set your own goals; measure your weight, BMI, & waist; pick up a schedule of activities; and get some easy to use tools
to track your progress. Activities include:
Free physical activity events
(Let’s walk!, learn to run, boot camp, aerobics, fiefia sports)
Nutritional advice
Support to quit smoking
Goal setting advice
Weekly progress checks
Do you have an activity you think would really work? let the HPU team know and we will promote it on the FACEBOOK page so that other MOH staff can join in. You might want to run social soccer after work, start a walk-to-work group, or even a fruit and vegetable exchange.
