The Programme was launched on Saturday April 26th at the Body and Soul Gym and is aimed at promoting Healthy Lifestyles by emphasizing exercise and healthy diets. Speaking at the launch on Saturday, Prime Minister Mitchell said, "I am very saddened when I see families lose fathers, mothers and other family members very early in life. Lifestyle as it relates to diet and exercise affects every aspect of the family. We have become too sedentary! Gone are the days when entire villages not only participated in sporting events but also walked from village to village to compete. Through this programme I want to see us eat better, exercise more and live better."
