Check out the Dec. 2020 Be Well newsletter. Stories include:
- Save Time for Exercise: Finding time for fitness activities can be challenging for folks with work and family demands. First, consider the rewards of regular exercise: protecting your health and feeling your best. Second, make exercise a priority. Third, don’t make excuses with every little interruption that comes along.
- Warning: Be heart smart when shoveling snow: It can significantly stress your cardiovascular system — similar to being at peak exercise during a stress test.
- Vaccines are vital: Before the 1950s, serious diseases, including polio, measles and diphtheria, sickened hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. Thousands died each year. Fortunately, with vaccines these diseases now occur rarely in the U.S.
- Better Breakfast Menu: Do you ever start the day with a sugary donut but feel hungry about an hour later? The food you choose at breakfast can set your energy level and hunger cues for the whole morning, so make smart selections.
- Tame the Seasonal Craze: Holiday shopping, cooking, decorating and festivities are fun but can also cause stress. Exhaustion, occasional family squabbles and feelings of sadness when things don’t always go as planned can dampen holiday spirits.
- Annual Safe Gift Guide: This year, the world seems to be focusing on safety more than ever, so giving the gift of safety is one that many people may choose.
