ABOUT
A Health Expo is a positive way to respond to human suffering in this age of increased knowledge and technology. Every day we are witnesses to an increase in the number of deaths directly related to unhealthy lifestyles. Most of these premature deaths could have been prevented and quality of life increased if simple lifestyle changes had been implemented.​
WHAT TO EXPECT
As you enter, you will be greeted at our Welcome Table by our greeters! We'll have you sign in and take a quick temperature check. From there, we will have eight stations, for each of the health principles, for you to go to with a different service at each station provided to you for FREE!
STATIONS
STATION 01
NUTRITION
​Proper nutrition is the foundation of good health and recovery. The foods we eat have a tremendous impact on our health. At this station, we will provide diabetes and cholesterol screening.
STATION 02
WATER
Because the body is 70% water, keeping well hydrated and knowing what and when to drink are essential to health. At this station we will provide everyone with water and education on hydrotherapy.
STATION 03
EXERCISE
​Action is a law of life. Muscle tone and strength are lost without exertion, but exercise improves the health of body, mind, and spirit multiplying vitality and health. At this station we will provide the Harvard Step Test which helps to analyze your cardiovascular system.
STATION 04
SUNLIGHT
​The sun is the established energy source ordained by God to sustain the cycle of life for plants and animals. At this station, we will check your blood pressure.
STATION 05
AIR
​The body’s most essential resource is air. More important than food or water, proper breathing and pure air are fundamental to good health. At this station, we will provide the Peak Flow Meter which measures the flow of air coming out of your lungs.
STATION 06
REST
Restoration requires rest because sleep allows the body to renew itself. Many types of rest are important for health, but the sweetest rest follows labor. At this station, we will provide a massage by a licensed massage therapist.
STATION 07
TEMPERANCE
Using good things moderately and avoiding the bad is obviously wise, yet often hard to practice. At this station, we will input the information received through the previous stations and a questionnaire to the HER program and determine a "Health Age".
STATION 08
TRUST
We all need people we can trust. At this station, our doctor and a pastor will be available to go over your health expo results, talk about your goals and how you can attain your goals, and just to listen!
