Have you ever wondered what the numbers for your blood pressure mean, what exercises are good for a sore shoulder or what foods are best for your heart?
Join local health professionals for “Optimal Health4You,” a free presentation on Saturday, June 9, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Kent Senior Activity Center, 600 E. Smith St.
Call 253-856-4968 or visit Kent4Health.com to register.
According to Kent4Health liaison Pam Clark, the event is an opportunity to ask questions and learn directly from the experts about exercise, balanced diet, disease prevention and healthy living.
“We have a great lineup of speakers who will discuss common exercise practices, the importance of proper footwear, nutrition and more,” Clark said.
Guest speaker and licensed practical nurse Besty Kirichenko says people frequently ask her why it’s important to get health screenings, what the numbers mean and what can they do to improve their overall health.
“This discussion is a great way to get answers. It’s easier than you think to get on a healthy track,” Kirichenko said.
Other speakers include podiatrist Kevin Adolf, physical therapist Zach Steele and Stewart Rose with Vegetarians of Washington.
Free blood pressure and glucose screenings will be provided.
LifeQuest Chiropractic and Massage also will provide complimentary spinal health checks, five-minute chair massage and paraffin hand dips.
Anyone is welcome, but space is limited.
