Join The Rapides Foundation Get Healthy Cenla Challenge, a daily challenge designed to encourage people to improve their nutrition and physical activity. Our goal is for everyone to eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day, and get at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity a day, five days a week.
The March Challenge Calendar provides an extra push for you to tackle your healthy lifestyle goals. March is National Nutrition Month and Colon Cancer Awareness Month. Diets high in fruits and vegetables, along with increased physical activity, can reduce the risk for many diseases, including colon cancer. Whether you're trying to get stronger, lose weight, lower stress in your life, or make healthier food choices, the calendar has a challenge for you! The Healthy Lifestyle Program dietitians and exercise specialist designed the calendar to provide information to help you make informed food choices and develop sound eating and physical activity habits.

In addition to our calendar, we have even more resources to help you meet your health goals. You can click here to see videos about how to eat healthier, simple exercises you can add to your workout, and tips for proper walking techniques on our YouTube channel. Links to all of these resources are also in the "More Links" section below this article.
The challenges on our calendar are prepared by trained staff in our CMAP Healthy Lifestyle Program. They are designed to be simple and realistic. If you find the challenges too easy, try doubling the amounts. If they are too hard, don't worry. Do what you can, and have fun!
