Healthy body, healthy mind

11 September 2007

Next week first year students will be starting their new term at NEWI and as part of Freshers’ Week the NEWI Sports Centre will be organising a Healthy Lifestyle Day next Wednesday 19th September.  The day will promote the benefits of an active, healthy lifestyle for students. 

For the second consecutive year NEWI Sport Development Team and NEWI Health Centre staff are working together to host the event where healthy living advice is promoted to students.  Students are educated on balanced nutrition and exercise, personal fitness and general health issues, as Kirsty Hornby, the Student and Community Development Officer says,

“The purpose of the event is to promote the activities that students can engage in to increase their standard of living, through exercise, sport and educating them on health issues”. 

This event coincides with the Welsh Assembly Government initiative, ‘Climb Higher’ which aims to get the community to do more exercise.
