Linden gets fit
LINDEN – Residents engage with health initiative at Linden Swimming Pool.
Residents of Linden recently made an effort to become more fit and healthy at a fitness event at Linden Swimming Pool. In a bid to educate local communities about the importance of living more balanced lifestyles, Nestlé South Africa partnered with various stakeholders for a three-part series of free wellness events across Johannesburg, called Go Jozi. The series was conceptualised by City of Joburg Executive Mayor Mpho Parks Tau, and the Department of Social Development.
The event at Linden was one of 25 such events. Here, residents received free health screenings and discussed their eating options with registered dietitians. Naazneen Khan, nutrition, health and wellness manager at Nestlé South Africa said, “There is a perception that being active and eating well is difficult, expensive and time consuming but this is not the case. Through our… events we intend to show people that it is possible to live more fulfilled and balanced lives by making simple behavioural changes and choices.”
