The Be Fit Cayman! Campaign will take to the airwaves in a bid to reach more people with the message of health and wellness.

Starting last Saturday, 23 June, Radio Cayman’s For the Health of It began airing an educational programme with the Health Services Authority and Public Health staff.

The radio programme is aimed at promoting the concept behind Be Fit Cayman!. In particular, the broadcasts will focus on ways to prevent and manage chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and asthma.

Topics will include contributing factors, early detection and management through lifestyle changes and medication. The line-up will kick off with an overview of the Be Fit Cayman! campaign as well as the current state of health in the Cayman Islands. This will be followed by a comprehensive series on diabetes.

For the Health of It airs on 89.9FM. The Be Fit Cayman! segment is scheduled for about 30 minutes during the last two Saturdays in each month at 9: 30am with a repeat on Wednesdays, at 7:00pm.
