Live Well: Maintain a Healthy Life
How do you maintain a healthy life? These are huge impactors on a person’s health: Physical fitness and healthy body weight, smoking, and diabetes. Our lifestyle programs can help put you on the path to well-being.
Healthy Lifestyle Programs
Weight Watchers® Weight Loss Assistance
There is a way. The Weight Watchers® program is based on the science-backed SmartPoints® system – it encourages you to eat more fruits, veggies, lean protein, and less sugar and unhealthy fats. It really works.
Smoking/Tobacco Cessation
If you've ever tried quitting tobacco, you know it's much easier said than done. UHA offers smoking cessation classes, prescribed medication, as well as nicotine replacement products to aid you in your efforts.
Prediabetes/Diabetes Prevention
The Diabetes Prevention program, in partnership with the YMCA, is a small-group program that helps qualified individuals with prediabetes eat healthier, increase their physical activity and lose weight, which can delay or even prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes.
YMCA's Healthy Weight and Your Child Program
UHA has teamed up with the YMCA to offer qualified UHA members this program. Healthy Weight and Your Child aims to get keiki and families to develop healthy eating and physical activity habits.
