Avètisman sou tradiksyon yo

Mèsi pou vizit ou fè nan sit entènèt Distri Lekòl Rejyon Palm Beach la (“Website”). Ou kab tradui sit entènèt sa a an plizyè lang diferan si w itilize Google™ Translate kòm sèvis yon lòt antite (the “Service”) ki founi sèvis wobo pou fè tradiksyon otomatik paj sit yo sou entènèt la. Nou mete sèvis Google™ Translate sa a aladispozisyon itilizatè oswa ou menm ("User" oswa “You”) kòm yon sèvis piblik gratis.

TANPRI, BYEN LI AVÈTISMAN AN AVAN OU ITILIZE SÈVIS LA.

Malgre sèvis tradiksyon Google la itilize teknoloji avanse dènye kri, li pa itilize entèvansyon moun pou fè tradiksyon yo. Kidonk, tradiksyon ki fèt nan kad sèvis sa a ki founi la a sèlman bay yon ide apwoksimatif sou kontni reyèl sa ki di nan vèsyon orijinal sit entènèt la. Ou pa ta dwe repoze w sèlman sou Google™ Translate pou jwenn yon tradiksyon egzat sa sit entènèt la vle di. Se PA tout pati nan tèks yo ki kab tradui kòrèkteman epi ou kab menm jwenn kèk pati nan sit entènèt yo ki pa kab tradui ditou. Gen kèk fichye ak lòt pati ankò ki pa kab tradui, tankou paegzanp men se pa sa sèlman, bouton grafik yo, meni an woulo yo ak foto yo. Anplis, genyen kèk aplikasyon ak/oswa sèvis ki gen dwa pa kab fonksyone nòmalman jan pou yo ta dwe apre yo fin tradui.

HealthyLiving-Lessons for Life Wellness Success Stories

Wellness Success Story

I'm happy to report I'm now Tobacco-Free! With lots of will power and the desire to do it. I officially quit smoking in March of 2011. I didn't use any resources, simply the nicotine patch for a week. Besides improved health, its great to not have to pay the $50.00 a month tobacco surcharge. I've been tobacco-free for almost a year and I encourage you to quit too. You will feel better and stronger for it.Thank you!- James Gallon

In 2011 I made a goal to eat healthier including more whole grains and poultry in my diet. Not only do I feel better but my cholesterol has significantly improved. I'm amazed at the impact it has had. It's proof that small changes can make a big difference. Thank you! - Patricia Fouchet

karen I wanted to improve my health by adding more physical activity in order to look and feel better for both my daughter’s high school graduations. I rode my bicycle to and from work, I walked on a used treadmill, I took the puppy on walks around the block and I did many beach clean ups in the West Palm Beach area, which not only helped me but also helped the animals and the environment. My advice is to have a variety of activities that you can enjoy with your family and friends.Thank You! -Karen Rose

Before having to complete the new Wellness Rewards requirements I had seen multiple doctors over many years, telling them that I felt sick all the time. I was basically told that they could not find anything really wrong with me, to the point of giving me depression meds (which I didn't take, so sad). When I did the wellness blood work, I got a call that the doctor needed to see me ASAP. Turns out that my liver numbers were elevated and I had to have my gallbladder removed immediately. The surgery was done and this is the best I have felt in years!!! If it had not been for that wellness blood work I don't know how much longer I would have suffered. So for anyone that is complaining about having to do the wellness process; it works! Thank you!-Susan Norris

john Over the past 2 years I have lost over 95 pounds and dropped almost 8 pants sizes! Diet and exercise has been the key to my success. I started my journey towards better health before the Wellness Rewards program, but it really helped to keep me motivated. My advice to others is “you are what you eat”, and “try not to eat past 7 pm”. You can do it too! Thanks!- John Critelli

In December 2011 I ran a 12 mile obstacle course through swamps and mud, over hills, and through tunnels. It was called the "tough mudder". A year ago, I would never have signed up for this race. Inspiring others to take care of themselves and to challenge themselves inspired me to do the same. I am proud to say I am a "Tough Mudder" and a Wellness Champ! Thank you! Michelle Burns

Six months ago I considered myself a very in shape person for 66 years of age. I ran, practiced martial arts and was a competitive power lifter. My goal was to be a super heavy weight champion, however my weight climbed to 290 pounds. My wife urged me to visit the doctor. I was shocked, my blood pressure was extremely high, and I was a borderline diabetic. It was a wake up call and immediately I started increasing my fitness activity and eating more greens, fiber and drinking lots of water. I now weight 235 pounds and my vitals are normal. Thank you! Robert Braunstein

When I was in college, I was 50 pounds overweight. This was over 20 years ago, but since then, and to avoid this ever again, I have become an avid fitness enthusiast. I am currently a group fitness instructor at LA Fitness where I help others keep weight off. Several teachers with whom I work take my classes every day! I wake wise choices through portion control, and stay busy being active, all which impact my health in a positive way. Thank you!Jennifer Magrath-Singer jen
