Willie Okobokekeimei’s Health Messenger Profile

I will help my area program by encouraging a wide variety of foods like whole grain breads or cereals, vegetables, fruit, lean meat, and low-fat dairy products. So we can have long-term nutrition habits and behaviors that enable athletes to achieve optimal body weight and even body fat levels for performance.

My health journey will consist of losing weight, eating better, and gaining strength. My goals are to plan my meals ahead of time to make sure I include a variety of nutrients. And of course healthy snacking, because that is an important part of an athlete’s diet. Another goal is I would like to carry a water bottle throughout the day so I remember to stay hydrated. My third goal is I would also like to practice mindfulness or meditation and to improve my mental clarity and calmness.

Once I achieve my personal health goals I hope to share with my community and other athletes my personal health journey.
