Check out the Nov. 2022 Be Well newsletter from EMI. Stories include:
- Boost Brain Health - To reduce your risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) it may help to limit screen time that involves sitting. Excessive TV viewing and leisure time screen use have been linked to CHD. Limiting leisure screen time to less than one hour a day could help prevent more than one in ten cases, regardless of your genetic makeup, according to recent University of Cambridge research.
- Celebrate Healthy Eating - Holiday season is a time to celebrate with family and friends, and many events revolve around food. Sometimes this can be challenging for people who have special dietary needs or follow a rigid eating pattern. The influx of treats, sweets and celebrations focused on eating can be overwhelming.
- Brain Benefits of Music - To exercise your brain, turn on some music. Research has shown that listening to music can help reduce anxiety, control blood pressure and relieve pain, as well as improve sleep quality, mood, mental alertness and memory.
- Defusing Family Feuds - Along with a festive meal, something else can be served up this time of year — family squabbles. Long-held resentments, political differences — lots of things can boil over around the turkey platter. Plan how you’ll navigate around sensitive topics, cool down any potential arguments and steer conversations into a positive direction.
