Beaver, WV (Wowk) – to make vigorous in West Virginia again. This is a goal of governor Patrick Morrisey and one in which he hopes to be a good example.
“Unfortunately, we are many important categories such as obesity, diabetes, heart failure and cancer,” said Governor Morrisey on Wednesday at Little Beaver State Park. “There are many things that we believe that we can make improvements through the way we behave every day.”
Governor Morrisey said there were four pillars in his plan to make West Virginia a healthier state.
“Today we are here to highlight the move of your body and change your column of life,” said the governor. “This emphasizes the importance of the daily movement and the positive effects that it has on their physical and mental health.”
Morrisey has challenged itself and other West Virgins to run at least one mile a day. In addition to the heads of state and government on Wednesday afternoon in Little Beaver State Park in Raleigh County, he spoke about this mountaineering mile initiative.
“It is the start of the mountaineering mile,” said Del. Jordan Maynor (R-Raleigh). “It is the first park that the governor visited. Obviously it is beautiful here. It is quiet. I don’t think he could take a better place for the start.”
The governor presented a mountaineering mileage path in Little Beaver State Park and plans to install similar markers in all 32 state parks in West Virginia.
“Let’s continue to build on this advantage,” said Morrisey. “Everyone should go to the parks and let everyone know that we are very proud.”
In West Virginia Healthier, it is more than just doing the exercise and recently adopted a ban on certain food dyes to be sold in the state that the governor signed in the law.
“One of our large invoices from the session was the ban on Food Dye and ensuring that we do not poison our children in schools and bring in our bodies in our body,” said DEL. Maynor. “We are very happy about it. One of the big things during the session was a focus on making West Virginia healthy again.”
Governor Morrisey also supports a move of House Republicans to DC, who restrict those who receive Snap advantages to buy junk food.
