Exercise is Medicine
If there is one great natural cure for staying fit and healthy, exercise has to be it. Nothing compares to staying fit and making sure that you don’t abuse your body by leaving it idle and storing the unwanted toxins that normally stay in our bodies if we do not work out.
A national program focused on connecting health care providers and the public on the benefits of physical activity is now infiltrating college campuses nationwide. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) today announced “Exercise is Medicine On Campus,” a program component to address and expand exercise and physical activity in the unique university and college environment.
The launch aligns with programs on campuses all over the country, including Michigan State University, where Jim Pivarnik, Ph.D., FACSM, ACSM’s incoming president (2009-2010), says the national roll-out coincides with his commitment to make his term ACSM’s “year of the student.”
Multiple colleges and universities across the country have pledged to support EIM On Campus and have committed to promote the benefits of physical activity to their students, faculty and community. Participating colleges include Lakeland College, Michigan State University, Mississippi State University and the University of Texas.
