more opportunities for women’s
health issues to be addressed;

the women of Warm Springs by
providing quality care in a com­
fortable atmosphere and in a

The Diabetes Prevention Pro­
gram honored graduates with a
dinner and presentation of jack­
ets to past participants recently.
Alex McMillan attended the
ceremony as a guest speaker.
A fitness columnist for The
Oregonian as well as a motiva­
tional speaker, McMillan
adopted a healthy lifestyle after
finding himself 50 pounds over­
weight
He spoke o f the differences
in activity levels in just the past
few decades.
“A typical day for m ost
people, just from 30 years ago,
is a lot different than it is to­
day,” McMillan said. For that
reason, he encouraged-people to
make up the difference through
exercise.
It’s something that extends
into food choices, he said. “Just
make the choice consciously—
if I’m going to eat it, I’m going
to burn it,” he said.
In addition, McMillan said,
it’s im portant to identify the
motivation for losing weight.
“If there’s no desire, there’s
no way you’re going to do it,” '
McMillan said.
The Diabetes Prevention Pro­
gram is a three-year program
