WOW! forum look at simple ‘5-2-1-0’ steps to change one’s life

Dr. Monica Dixon presents “Living 5-2-1-0: How 4 Simple Steps Can Change Your Life,” a free WOW! Working on Wellness Forum at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 11, at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave.

Seating is limited, so attendees are encouraged to arrive early.

The 5-2-1-0 campaign encourages people to eat five vegetable and fruit servings per day, enjoy two or less hours of recreational screen time, be active one hour a day and drink zero sugar-sweetened beverages.

The four research-based steps are proven as the most powerful antidotes against chronic disease, event organizers say, as Dixon offers a “fun, energetic presentation to learn how to take simple steps towards these big rewards.”

WOW! Working on Wellness is a health education program of Dungeness Valley Health Wellness Clinic — Sequim’s free clinic. The clinic provides basic urgent care and chronic health care services to uninsured community members.
