As college students, finding the necessary care and health advice can sometimes cause a headache. Knowing where to direct your questions can also be confusing.<\/p>\n
However, on Wednesday, April 8, Western hosted its annual health fair on the Health and Wellness Center\u2019s basketball courts to provide students with information and answer their questions about health.<\/p>\n
While sitting at the check-in table, Sarah Fox and Alyssa Raimer both agreed that the fair served a dual purpose: to inform Western of the resources available to students in all aspects of health and well-being and to promote healthy behavior.<\/p>\n
At the check-in desk, students were given a stamp card to take with them to the booths. Once fully stamped, the card could be entered in a raffle to win prizes like a Magic Bullet, a Fitbit or a bike.<\/p>\n
Representatives from the Student Health and Counseling Center, Monmouth Fitness Club and Alcohol Anonymous had booths on display with a variety of valuable information regarding health, addiction and personal issues.<\/p>\n
Medical organizations such as Salem Health, Corvallis Clinic and the Dallas Health and Vitality Center displayed their important information via eye-catching poster boards and free samples.<\/p>\n
The Dallas Health and Vitality Center promoted healthy free samples such as power drinks and cranberry-orange muffins. The muffins contained one of their products called Nutracleanse, which is an all-natural food fiber from organic sources. They also displayed an array of their supplements: chewable Vitamin D gummies, Dairy Enzymes and Vitamin B12.<\/p>\n
One of the booths helped to ease the stress dealing with finances can cause.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe answer common questions from students about building credit and overall financial
\nwellness,\u201d said Christina Budiselic, a sophomore elementary education major.<\/p>\n
Life Source Natural Foods, a grocery store in Salem, filled its booth with information on its organic, GMO-free fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n
For about 21 years, Life Source has provided customers with the purest produce by eliminating harmful pesticides embedded within the food. They also label their grocery aisles with gluten-free labels, to make it an easier shopping experience for customers. <\/p>\n
The booth offered a basket full of sweet, organic carrots for students to munch on while wandering on to other booths.<\/p>\n
Dr. Marty, from Thornton Chiropractic located in Independence, explained, \u201cPeople have misconceptions about what chiropractors do. We do not crack bones; we deal with the nervous system and always treat the cause, not the symptoms.\u201d<\/p>\n
There was a massage chair placed in front of the booth for those who wanted to sample a chiropractic massage.<\/p>\n
The health fair is held annually, and has been for over a decade, providing knowledge about health resources available in and around the Monmouth area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
