Vern Gauthier – “Staying Healthy”
Vern (owner of “Fit-For-You”) is very knowable about health and fitness and his presentation was outstanding. I believe we learned much about our quest to stay healthy. Vern explained the value of the “Metacheck Number” Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR). He related the RMR to a Savings Account, what you put-in versus what you take-out, determines what you have. For example: Maintaining muscle & losing weight are related to your body needs. Vern cautioned that “Fad Diets” are hurtful. They have a “beginning and an ending”; not a consistent lifestyle.
He pointed out the four (4) most important factors that determine a healthy outcome:
Nutrition (protein);
Exercise (weight lifting & aerobics);
Sleep (7 hrs/night);
Entertainment (hobbies, fun, relaxing, friends, etc.).
Interested Rotarians and family members are encouraged to visit “Fit-For-You” and talk to Vern & Staff about their special services such as Metacheck Number, lean body Scanning or a Healthy lifestyle program.
