Antelope Hills Health Expo

Weimar College students assisted with the Antelope Hills SDA church health expo on Sunday, September 25. Roughly 35-40 people attended the expo. Students provided blood pressure screening and the Harvard step test which measures how high the pulse reaches under moderate levels of exercise. Everyone who came through was very thankful for the screening and several people with high blood pressure were particularly interested in our free website, http://www.newstartclub.com Click. here to view our resources for hypertension.

A couple of ladies did not come prepared to participate in even mild exercise. They both had shoes that were not the most comfortable for stepping up and down on a nine inch step 90 times in three minutes. However, one of the ladies who was wearing sandals toughed it out and did her best. The other lady took off her high heel shoes and did it barefoot. She did not even speak English and had to depend on a translator from another booth. The determination of both of these ladies was amazing and it seemed like both of them had good health. Perhaps one of the qualifications of good health is determination. If we would be as determined to take off our shoes or exercise even when it’s not the most convenient we would probably be in much better health.
