  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  sense of this Legislative Body to acknowledge
months which promote healthy living and exercise; and

  WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and  in  full  accord  with  its
long-standing  traditions,  this  Legislative  Body  is  justly proud to
recognize October 2022, as Healthy Lifestyle Month in the State  of  New
York; and

  WHEREAS,  Lifestyle Lifespan was founded by Sheikh Musa Drammeh, who
truly believes lifestyle is responsible for  most  of  the  Bronx's  and
other  borough of New York's health problems and contributes to widening
health disparities; and

  WHEREAS, The Lifestyle Lifespan campaign was established to  promote
a  healthy  lifestyle and create a platform in which health and wellness
issues can be discussed and subject expertise shared; and

  WHEREAS, Through partnerships with various religious  organizations,
schools,  government  agencies,  private businesses, healthcare experts,
celebrities, stakeholders and interested individuals, Lifestyle Lifespan
is a campaign that encourages healthy consumption, healthy relationships
and physical activity; and

  WHEREAS, Lifestyle Lifespan  facilitates  all  facets  of  lifestyle
issues  in relations to health and wellness for individuals and families
through competitions, conventions, sports events,  research  and  forums
such  as  exercise  classes,  diet  and  nutritional  session,  home and
environmental health practice, personal hygiene and mental, as  well  as
spiritual health and wellness discussions; and

  WHEREAS,   Lifestyle  Lifespan  encourages  each  individual  to  be
responsible and accountable for their own decisions, and to make  better
choices,  leading  to  a  healthier  lifestyle,  and  ultimately, a more
productive and vital New York; and

  WHEREAS, Since its  inception,  Lifestyle  Lifespan  has  moved  the
communities  of  the Bronx and ultimately New York State, in a healthier
direction; and

  WHEREAS, Throughout the  month  of  October  and  beyond,  Lifestyle
Lifespan  encourages  children  and  families  to get up, get out and be
active; individuals who have pledged to  maintain  a  healthy  lifestyle
must  be  aware  of their consumption and physical and mental condition;
and

  WHEREAS, It is fitting to set aside months which encourage a healthy
lifestyle for people of all ages, and, in doing so, enhance  the  health
and welfare of the entire State of New York; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
recognize October 2022, as Healthy Lifestyle Month in the State  of  New
York; and be it further
