To the editor:
Thank you very much for including the articles “Oconto among less healthy counties in state” and “County adopts health improvement plan” in the April 2 issue of the Times Herald. This kind of information is critical to every county resident, especially seeing that our county is doing poorly in so many categories.
Every individual from adolescent to elder has responsibility for his or her own health. The three most important aspects of that responsibility are eating sensibly, maintaining a healthy weight and taking regular exercise.
Do you know how many calories you require per day? Do you know how many calories you eat in a day? Do you know what your weight should be? Do you exercise?
Three further points are the “do nots”: do not drink excessively (or at all if you are driving), do not take drugs that are not currently prescribed for you, and do not smoke, period.
Oconto County residents can be healthier. What will our scores be in 2014?
How will you improve your health and well-being?
