THE
CHALLENGE
Across New Jersey, people are getting sick and literally
dying from obesity-related conditions. The problem
is particularly acute in children. Recent studies link
childhood obesity to a disturbing prediction: the current
generation of children in America may have shorter life
expectancies than their parents.
Additionally, Americans are spending billions each year
on obesity-related illnesses. If we do not work to reduce
obesity among both children and adults in New Jersey,
we will face a crisis of epidemic proportions.
THE
SOLUTION
The ultimate goal of the Mayor’s Wellness Campaign
is to improve health and the quality of life, while reducing
the skyrocketing health care costs that are associated
with obesity. Through this website you can access information
about local health related events, nutrition and form
your own fitness groups.
Join us as we strive to promote healthy
living in Mount Olive!
Move
It Morris Month – May 2008
Mt Olive Township is encouraging residents to
Eat Smart and Move More.
Throughout the month of May, the Morris Area Wellness
Partnership is
supporting a county-wide effort to get as many residents
moving more and
eating smart for the month of May.
In the municipality, there will be many activities going
on which will be
highlighted on our website www.eatsmartmovemore.org
On May 10, at Lewis Morris Park, the Morris County Park
Commission is hosting a day at the park with nature hikes,
walks, activities for children to help them get moving
more, nutritious food samples, prizes, and tee shirts.
Highlights of the day include a visit from a player for
the JETS and a Family Challenge. The day will begin at
10am and will close at 4pm.
