Words of Wellness Wisdom
from Susan Greeley, MS, RDN, National Director, Wellness Services
This fall, take the time to think about what you can do to proactively focus on your health. As fun as fall and winter can be, these seasons can also add stress to our lives with cold and flu season, holiday pressures and weight gain, weather-related injuries, and mood dips due to the "darker days." In this newsletter, you'll find various strategies for what I collectively call stress management: from how to eat to support your immune system (think healthy comfort foods!) and taking measures to protect your bones and joints, to incorporating mindfulness and meditation into your daily life (by taking advantage of our SENS events and Affinity Partners) there's a lot here to help you prevent stress from hijacking your health.
Happy, healthy fall and winter to all!
