Nutrition Tip of the week #29

Try something new in your exercise routine!

Just like in your diet, it is important to keep your body in balance when it comes to exercising. So mix it up! Do a trial gym class, run outside instead of inside, switch from elliptical to treadmill or vise-versa. Also make sure you are working out your arms, legs, abs, and back an equal amount. Joining an exercise class is a great way to be held accountable for exercising and lets you make sure you are doing it right.

Nutrition Tip of the week #27

Please follow CDC's recommendations to stay healthy and avoid the flu!

What You Can Do to Stay Healthy
  • Stay informed. This website will be updated regularly as information becomes available.
  • Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.
  • Take everyday actions to stay healthy.
  • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
  • Stay home if you get sick. CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
  • Follow public health advice regarding school closures, avoiding crowds and other social distancing measures.
  • Find healthy ways to deal with stress and anxiety.
  • Call 1-800-CDC-INFO for more information.
