HEALTH
AND WELLNESS
Heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer and
diabetes are conditions directly related to overweight and obesity issues. The
timing is right for enhanced activity programs that can be enjoyed regardless of
the season. Winter can be a major contributor to becoming over weight and under
exercised. Short cold days and long cold nights can lead to months of inactivity
and weight gain in both kids and adults. Not to mention missing out on an
opportunity to make fresh tracks in the Katahdin Regions snow and breath the
winter air. Snowshoeing is a great cardiovascular calorie burning low impact
activity that is not only healthy but fun and addictive.
