Check out the Dec. 2021 Be Well newsletter from EMI. Stories include:
- Helping others helps you, too. - Volunteers make a vital difference in the lives of others. And volunteering your time and efforts can benefit your own health as well — from reducing stress to boosting self-confidence and becoming more content over time.
- Secrets of Sugars - Sugar: It’s a word with a bad reputation. But there’s more to know about this sweetener, and the news isn’t all bad. The truth is, Americans do eat too much sugar, and the No. 1 source is sweetened beverages, such as soft drinks, coffee beverages and fruit drinks. Baked goods, candy, ice cream and chocolate are also high in sugar.
- Stay Positive This Season - The holiday season can be full of cheer — and stress. You probably make lists of everything you need to do, including groceries you’ll need to buy for special meals and gifts for friends and family. Maybe it’s time to also consider a list of strategies for a calmer season.
- Winter Family Fun - Ready for some fun family pursuits? Don’t let the chilly months and less daylight hold you back. Whatever the size of your family — mom, dad, kids, grandparents, siblings — daytime, night time, indoors or outdoors, take time for a midweek break or weekend family adventure, and have fun together.
