Encouraging healthier lifestyles...on the war of obesity...BD
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was in his element Wednesday, urging students to "get pumped up" and stay healthy as he and former President Bill Clinton toured Columbia Middle School on California Avenue. The visit was meant to recognize the school's award-winning physical education and nutrition programs. Columbia was one of only 26 schools nationwide to receive a bronze award from the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, a partnership between Clinton's philanthropic foundation and the American Heart Association.
Dr. Daniel Jones, president of the American Heart Association, said programs like the one at Columbia will go a long way toward preventing students from having to deal with many of the health problems related to excessive weight, including hypertension, heart disease and diabetes.
