The Nashville Church of
Scientology welcomed the community to a Fitness Fair in honor of World Health
Day.
A multitude of non-profit and
health-minded organizations set up booths to promote overall wellness at a
Community Fitness Fair organized by the Drug-Free South and Organized Neighbors
of Edgehill and hosted by the Nashville Church of Scientology.
According to Nashville.gov, the
city faces statistics such as 36 percent of its youth being obese or
overweight, and according to America’s Health Rankings, Tennessee is ranked 43
on the list for overall health. Rev. Brian Fesler of the Nashville Church of
Scientology moderated a panel of health professionals during the event for the
community, “There is a need in our communities to educate everyone on how to be
healthy, eat right and stay fit,” he said.
The event took place under the
banner “Shape Up and Be Happy: A Community Fitness Fair.” There were
organizations promoting drug prevention, weight loss, chiropractic care, HIV
prevention, and much more.
The Church supports the Foundation
for a Drug-Free World, which was represented by its Nashville chapter, Drug-Free
South, providing education on the truth about drugs. Fesler said, “you can’t
have overall health with drugs in your system, and Drug-Free South has the
educational materials people need to understand this.”
