Check out the March 2022 Be Well newsletter from EMI. Stories include:
- The Wonders of Walking - You’ve been doing it since you were a toddler — and it’s now labeled as “the closest thing we have to a wonder drug,” offering important health benefits.
- Vitamins on Your Plate - While sales of vitamin supplements continue to skyrocket, the best source of vitamins doesn’t come from a pill. It comes from your plate. The foods you eat — from vegetables to eggs to fish to whole grains — are filled with the essential vitamins your body needs.
- Gambling Awareness Month - Gambling is a common and often harmless recreation, but not always. In fact, for 2% to 4% of Americans, the lure of gambling becomes an addiction that is toxic, causing financial and personal problems.
- Spring Forward with Care - Plan ahead to adjust to Daylight Saving Time (DST), which begins on Sunday, March 13. It’s easy to move the clock up an hour on the night before the change, but you can’t reset your body’s internal clock that quickly.
- Diabetes Alert Day is March 22 - About 95% of the 34 million Americans with diabetes have type 2. More than seven million are unaware they have the disease. Another 88 million have prediabetes. Diabetes Alert Day is a wake-up call to learn about your risk by downloading the free, short NIH Diabetes Risk Test.
