Improvement in health habits is a growing trend in Adair County 91.5 pounds have been lost in four weeks by health-conscious individuals meeting Monday nights at the extension office; four more weeks to go in this series Adair County ranks worst, that's #1 in Kentucky, in our number of strokes; diet and exercise said to be key in changing this statistic The Adair County Health Department and the Extension Office have joined forces, putting each of their agency mandates together, offering training in both fitness and weight loss in one meeting. They are part of the Governor's and the University of Kentucky's efforts to educate the public and offer assistance to help positively change statistics in our state which ranks near the bottom in health and fitness. Fifty people attended the first class and signed up for to meet Monday evenings at the Extension Office by the Adair County Fairgrounds. There are four more sessions. Scores tallied Monday night showed a group total weight loss of nearly a hundred pounds. This is a news story that won't go away soon because the state has so far to go. Recent news stories have indicated that Kentucky is one of the unhealthiest states in the union, ranking near the bottom by almost all the critical yardsticks.
