community, healthy habits are now more important than ever before.
Throughout the winter months, people need to be especially mindful of
taking proper care of their bodies. This means staying educated and
informed on how to prevent illness, learning how it can spread and how
to improve one's overall health.
Washing your hands often and properly is one of the best ways to help
prevent the flu. But did you know that maintaining a healthy lifestyle
through rest, diet, exercise and relaxation is also a great way to
prevent the flu?
That's why the Mecklenburg County Health Department has launched the
online Fight the Flu with Fit City Challenge.
Joining the Fight the Flu with Fit City Challenge is easy, and
participants could win great prizes in addition to staying healthy
this flu season.
Visit www.fitcitychallenge.org to register, complete eight out of a
possible 10 healthy activities, and become eligible for grand prizes
including a free six-month membership to Massage Envy, a $50 gift card
from CVS and a Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation Gold Card, which
offers a free round of golf, free admission to several Park and
Recreation attractions, and 50 percent discounts on shelter/pavilion
fees.
Everyone who signs up is automatically entered in a weekly drawing for
great giveaways, including a free massage from Massage Envy and $20
gift cards from CVS.
The Fight the Flu with Fit City Challenge is under way now and runs
