Channel 7 News Health and Fitness Expo

Jane Marshall and I attended the NBC News Channel 7 Health and Fitness Expo held at the Hynes Conventions Center. The expo featured individuals from hospital and health care centers all over the boston area, as well as fitness specialists, nutritionists, etc. It was great to see how our society truly is transforming into a healthy one. One where they are beginning to rely on energy sufficient products, one where healthy eating is most important, and one where exercise becomes a mandatory activity. My favorite part of the expo was having the chance to listen to NFL Star and former New England Patriot, Tedy Bruschi speak about why all of this is important to him. He spoke about his experience after he had a stroke and what motivated him to get back on the field and the preventative he now takes in order to prevent having a stroke again. He also spoke about his most memorable experiences in the NFL and for the record, none of them were the Superbowl. They were far more meaningful then a game, it was about the people he met and the support from his family. I thought it was so touching to hear people speak up to Tedy Bruschi about how he changed their lives and how he pushes them to fight for their health after a road block. It was a great and educational expo that I learned so much from.
