Look out for the next Wellness Day in 2013
Improve your general health and wellbeing
Kent Sport's Wellness Day was a hit with University staff and students on Friday 30th March 2012. The event, held in Eliot Dining Hall, featured a range of stalls hosted by University Departments and local Wellness providers.
Photos from the event and details of the winners of the guess the calories of the cake competition are on facebook, along with the recipe for the fat less fruit cake.
Participants were able to find out about a range of activities that can have a positive effect on general health and wellbeing whilst browsing a range of stalls hosted by both University Departments and local Wellness providers.
Wellness is a dynamic concept in today’s media and by definition incorporates social, occupational, intellectual, physical, spiritual, emotional and environmental issues. The Wellness Day promises to consider all aspects of Wellness through the resources available on the stalls and the advice and guidance given by the hosts.
Amongst the stalls there will be drop-in workshops, health screening and resources to improve your knowledge about food choices, increasing physical activity, improving work-life balance, tips on relaxation, advice on giving up vices, exercising, managing medical conditions, lifestyle improvements, environmental projects and more.
Please add the Wellness Day to your diary and make this the first commitment to a better lifestyle. Kent Sport is confident that this event will in some way make a small, yet valuable, change to your lifestyle and Wellness.
