| The San Bernardino-Riverside Counties Health Collaborative (SBRCHC) is comprised of seventy community organizations that have joined together to educate about and advocate for healthier food choices and increased physical activity for San Bernardino-Riverside residents. We are in the process of imple- menting organization-level changes within our own membership. As a leader in the community, you are invited to join us by adopting the same organization-wide policy for meetings and events. Such a policy shows your members/employees that you are committed to improving their health by 1. Encouraging the addition of water, fruit and vegetable choices at all meeting and events. 2. Providing time for short physical activity breaks at meetings, programs and events longer that 90 minutes (see attached agreement). Why do this? Potential benefits to your members/employees include an increase in health, happiness and productivity and a decrease in absenteeism due to chronic diseases. Over 35% of chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, stroke and diabetes can be linked to poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle. Over 72% of the people over 18 in San Bernardino-Riverside eat fewer than the recommended 5 servings of fruit and vegetables each day, and over 60% of this same population are at risk for a sedentary lifestyle by virtue of their getting less than 30 minutes of exercise at least 5 days a week. You can make a difference! Commit yourself and your company/ organization to eat more fruit, eat more veggies and get moving at meetings and events. One of our SBRCHC representatives will be contacting you soon with more information about how you can participate in this program. |
