How to BE HEALTHY for Life

How to BE HEALTHY for Life

Spring 2008 I was asked to deliver a guest lecture for HHP 300, Fitness Maintenance course. The acronym that I developed to teach life-long learners how healthy lifestyle choices regarding eating, exercises and stress management can help them to life a healthier life was based on living a HEALTHY LIFE.

BE HEALTHY is a shorter acronym that help people focus on living a healthier life:

  • Balance and Moderation
  • Exercise for the Body and the Brain
  • Healthy Foods
  • Enough Sleep
  • Aging Healthfully
  • Lifestyle Choices
  • Time to Unwind
  • Health Checks
  • Youthful Thoughts

Each of these different health promoting topics were elaborated in a article by the same title, How to BE HEALTHY for Life.

Meet ProfessorDoc the Nutrition Course Voki

I am pleased to introduce My Voki,* or a talking voice character, a computer-generated version of myself, Dr. Kirsti A. Dyer a.k.a ProfessorDoc. She will give you a brief introduction to the Nutrition and Wellness Blog.

I’ll probably use the Voki for other brief explanations in the course, especially for the Online Section of the course. To hear the message, simply click on the arrow in the frame below.

* Voki comes from Vox + Loki = Voki. “Vox” is Latin for voice and “Loki” is a prankster character in Norse Mythology.

More about Vokis
You can see the another Voki that I created at the Ruminations of an Online Instructor / MD blog .
