Health and Fitness Tests can be completed which are more than just a health check and status report.Thus, the human motivation class of American Degree Programme spring 2012 student in Segi Kuala Lumpur organized an event called the “Healthy Lifestyle Campaign”. The campaign was held from the 26^th to 30^th March 2012.It is known that the event was sponsored by the Mind4life organization Malaysia. The five days campaign was carried out at the Segi Kuala Lumpur Library Block basement. No charges for all the activities conducted that needed the students to participate.Segi students were encouraged to join in all the three day event to gain more knowledge on the provided information about health and of course the services that will eventually help our Segi College students on raising awareness on how important it is to lead a healthy lifestyle.

The campaign started off with some products that were on sale for two days which was on the 26^th and 27^th of march 2012. A wide scope of established health and environmental friendly is what The Body Shop products are known for and it is believed that The Body Shop products were a hundred percent animal testing free.Selected items from The Body Shop were displayed at the main lobby of Segi College for students to purchase at a discounted price.

Not only that, there was also a BMI and blood pressure testing counter at the basement.Tests were conducted to determine the sugar level, blood pressure, weight, and height and it is also to identify existing and potential health risks for students allowing for early intervention. The services were carried out by the well-trained and senior Segi Kuala Lumpur nursing students. Students came eagerly to know about their health condition,as the place was crowding in seconds of time. Student’s name were given to the nurses in charge before the BMI and blood pressure test,to compile and keep a record of it under the Segi College Department.

Nowadays studying life is becoming more and more stressful. Students live under the pressure of various problems of social, ecological, economical and others.Students were stunned about the opportunity given,which is to check on their stress levels.Students were busy running up and down to visits a booth which displayed about the the ways of avoiding and releasing stress. A lady was in charge at the booth and she displayed some aromatic scents and a laptop. A special set of goggles and sunglasses like type of machine was plucked into the laptop.A few students then decided to test it out and put on the machine one by one taking turns. During the process, the students felt relaxed due to the music and the visual sight that was played through the perspective machine. It was a fifteen minutes session. The scent also helped to release stress and to make one feel relaxed and calm.

Quite a number of students who seemed interested about some products made by goat’s milk.A guy who knew about these products showed some of these supplements in a booth. There were different ranges of flavors for these supplements. Flavors include strawberry, chocolate and natural. These supplements are high in protein and calcium. Student queued up for a sample test for each flavor. Feedback for the supplements tremendous as the students were enquiring the person in detail.

On the last day of the event which was on the 30^th of march 2012, a fitness trainer from Fit Pro fitness centre was cordially invited tobe a part of the campaign. He gathered all the students and taught us the basic exercises which will gear up our health and immune system. He also shared some important  information on the ways to form a complete healthy lifestyle,which included the proper food intake up to daily exercises.In a nutshell, it was a splendid event which helped a big amount of Segi College students in which I believe each and every one of them would have definitely benefit a lot by taking part and joining the amazing campaign.
