Understanding your mental health can include learning about common issues such as depression, anxiety, and memory loss. Improving mental health can involve finding ways to stay active and engaged or joining social groups or classes.. Exercise, healthy eating, and relaxation techniques such as meditation or mindfulness can also have a positive impact on mental health. It’s important to prioritize your mental health and seek resources when needed to maintain a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. Here are some tips for understanding and improving your mental health.

enjoy some fun in the sun.

Recipe of the Month:
Sesame Chicken Lettuce Wraps

If you are as busy as can be, then fast meals like these Easy Sesame Chicken Lettuce Wraps are a huge help for weeknight dinners. The gluten-free sesame and tamari sauce is slightly sweet from the addition of maple syrup. Plus the addition of toasted sesame oil lends bold Asian flavor to the dressing.
These easy lettuce wraps can be made with chicken breast or are ready in only 15 minutes when you use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken. Serve them with Sesame Noodles or Peanut Noodles or make it a grain-free meal and serve Simple Cucumber Salad or Napa Cabbage and Cucumber Slaw
on the side.
