CHANGE Program
The 91探花 Health & Wellness Centre is pleased to offer another year of the CHANGE Program. The program is for individuals at risk of or living with metabolic syndrome. People with metabolic syndrome have at least two of the following five conditions: pre-diabetes/diabetes, high triglycerides, high "bad" cholesterol (LDL), low "good" cholesterol (HDL), high blood pressure, and abdominal adiposity (carry your weight in your middle).
The program is offered in communities across PEI and at 91探花. It is a year-long program; you will meet 28 times over the course of the year. The focus is on diet and exercise. With the dietitian, you will focus on the Mediterranean diet, and with the kinesiologist, you will learn how to exercise safely in your own home. You do not need to purchase any equipment, and the program is free.
For more information or to register, contact the CHANGE Program by email at change@upei.ca or telephone 902-620-5156.
