3) Finally, upload a video based on this scenario: if you were given a registered dietitian, life coach and personal trainer to help you stay on track in the three pillars of health (healthy diet + vitamins and other supplements + regular exercise), how would you use an extra $5,000 to further improve your wellness?
David Grotto, R.D., author of 101 Optimal Life Foods, advocates for the three pillars of health to maintain a healthy lifestyle. "For most people, getting started is often the hardest part of healthy living," says Mr. Grotto. "But it's also important to consider a health regimen that you can live with. You want to envision a healthier lifestyle for the long- term by taking small steps today."
In addition, the "Life...supplemented" campaign urges consumers to talk with their healthcare practitioners about staying healthy and to participate in online social networks that focus on wellness - so your health is top-of-mind.
