4 Life

4 Life is a lifestyle change program designed to help lower high blood pressure.  The four month program is aimed to help participants commit to lowering their risk for high blood pressure and live a healthier life.  Local experts will talk each week for four weeks with a facilitated group discussion afterward.  After the first four weeks, participants will gather once a month for the remaining three months.  Topics for each class include:

• What is hypertension?  Am I at risk?  What do I do?
• Healthy eating, sodium reduction, and alcohol usage
• The importance of physical activity
• How to manage stress and cope with triggers
• Group check in — How to keep on track
• Group check in — How to stay motivated
• Group check in — Skills to live by

The group will meet on Thursdays at 6:00pm at Community National Bank.  The cost is $20 for the entire series and participants must be at the first session to participate.  If participants complete all four months of the program they will receive a gift.  For more information call Kelli Frazell at 620-365-8128.
