FIRST LADY JEANNIE RITTER PROMOTES WALK@LUNCH DAY AT THE CAPITOL
First Lady Jeannie Ritter today joined more than three hundred Anthem, Channel 4, US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services employees, and other participants in the 3rd Annual National Walk@Lunch Day at the Capitol.
"This is such a wonderful way to promote fitness and to be proactive about your health," said First Lady Ritter. "I'm especially excited about how walking impacts your mental health too. It simply energizes the brain and helps it to better process what's going on with your body."
National Walk@ Lunch Day is sponsored nationally by the BlueCross and BlueShield Association to educate millions of consumers about how their daily decisions can have an impact on their health and well-being. It also creates an opportunity for employers to engage their employees in physical activity that promotes a healthier workplace environment.
