Hey that’s meeee!! 😁
Our May 6th guest speaker was Jacy Keef, the Wellness Coordinator for The Body Shoppe, who described her “The Wellness Weigh” program. The Body Shoppe, located at 1138 West McCord in Centralia, offers a wide variety of high-end fitness equipment and programs, one of which is Jacy’s “The Wellness Weigh” Nutrition and Exercise Wellness Program.
Jacy firmly believes that with a good diet low in processed foods, an exercise program tailored to your needs, and allowing your body to heal from the inside out, can resolve many issues people face today. Currently, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), 72% of adults are overweight or obese, and 93% of American adults have at least one marker of cellular dysfunction. Through fitness and nutrition, starting with protein (an anchor nutrient), you can make yourself healthier. The fitness program is usually weights, bands, and resistance training to build back and maintain lost muscle mass. Consuming healthy fats, fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, balancing your blood sugar levels, and using a High- or Low-Impact training program (based on your situation) can help you feel better. She recommends approximately 30 grams of protein or more at every meal. That can be beef, chicken, or fish. What we choose to eat affects us a lot.
Ms. Keef concluded her presentation by answering questions from the audience on nutrition, fitness, and a healthy lifestyle.
