  • Florida Theme Parks and Zoos Recognized for Making Healthy Options Available to Visitors
    Rick Scott : Mission Governor To protect, promote & improve the health of all people in Florida through integrated state, county & community efforts. John H. Armstrong, MD, FACS State Surgeon General & Secretary Vision: To be the Healthiest State in the Nation FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Communications Office July 29, 2015 (850) 245-4111 FLORIDA THEME PARKS AND ZOOS RECOGNIZED FOR MAKING HEALTHY OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO VISITORS TALLAHASSEE—The Florida Department of Health has created a resource to help Floridians eat smarter and move more, even on vacation. Through the Ticket to Health project, the department’s Healthiest Weight Florida initiative is highlighting healthy choices in theme parks and zoos throughout the state on their website and with a downloadable brochure. “Summer is the perfect time for Floridians and visitors to get outdoors and explore Florida’s many attractions,” said State Surgeon General and Secretary of Health Dr. John Armstrong. “Programs like Ticket to Health help make healthy choices the easier choices.” Ticket to Health recognizes the theme parks and zoos that help visitors eat smarter and be more active. Many parks offer salads and grilled options, as well as items suitable for kosher, vegetarian or gluten-free diets. More than half of the participating attractions also offer opportunities for physical activity. Good nutrition combined with regular physical activity can help you achieve and maintain your healthy weight, reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer, and promote your overall health. “The Brevard Zoo is excited to support the department’s Healthiest Weight Florida in their efforts to help Floridians move more,” said Brevard Zoo Spokesperson Andrea Hill.
