Doctors Manitoba has challenged Manitobans to make health a priority this season.
The organization has launched a winter edition of its ‘Getting Healthy’ challenge.
Via its website, the campaign provides advice from physicians giving easy steps Manitobans can take to get, or stay fit, during the winter.
In 2023, the organization discovered that over 80 percent of Manitobans feel they’re not doing enough, or could do more when it comes to physical activity and other key wellness areas.
Dr. Michael Boroditsky, president of Doctors Manitoba, said: “It’s a fun way to engage the people of Manitoba in getting healthy and enjoying a new way to kind of look at prevention.
“So it’s not just about exercising, that’s one thing. It’s about sleeping. It’s about treating yourself better, eating better, making sure you’re up to date on immunizations, just doing things as a preventative way and making it fun.”
Also, participants will have the opportunity to win over 20 prizes which include six months worth of free groceries.
The contest is open until Feb. 15 and free for every Manitoba resident.
