Health Tip: Eat Fruits and Vegetables!
Eat Plenty of Fruits and Vegetables
The body needs a constant inflow of vitamins and minerals. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables ensures that your body gets all the nutrients required. All fruits and veggies play their part in providing various vitamins and minerals. Include a lot of bright and deep colored veggies and fruits like oranges, red tomatoes, purple berries and leafy greens as they are all rich in antioxidants that fight disease-causing free radicals. You can toss some interesting salads, or blend them in thick smoothies. Try today, your body will thank you.

Health Tip: Load up on Good Fats!
Fats have long been regarded as villains, but not all fats are bad. Fats are necessary, especially for balancing hormones, keeping your skin and hair healthy and maintain your digestive processes. Eliminating a food group is never sustainable. Unsaturated fats are healthier than saturated and trans fats. Avocadoes and walnuts are good sources of fats along with cooking oils like olive oil and mustard oil. We encourage you to try some form of good fat today, your body will thank you!

Plan for relaxation. Most of us are busy during the week and even our weekends seem to become non-stop errands, chores, work and travel. So how do you find time to relax? Take the whole weekend (or at least part of it) to schedule some downtime for at least an hour or two. Whether it's practicing your favorite hobby, watching a movie, or even meditating quietly, do something every weekend that recharges you. You'll not only feel better, but also beat stress (which may also ) help you drop a few pounds.

Health Tip: Practice Positive Self-Talk!
A major aspect of self-care is the "self" part, and that includes how you view yourself and, importantly, the language you use when talking to yourself. Appreciate the small tasks you do during the day and remember to tell yourself “good job” — whether it’s a work task, making time for exercise, or keeping your patience when disciplining your child. Celebrate your daily successes with positive self-talk. It might feel weird at first, but your brain will soak up that self-care goodness, and research suggests it can help begin to turn your thoughts and feelings in a happier direction. We encourage you to include practicing positive self-talk daily.

Health Tip: Get Organized!
Getting organized is often the first step to becoming a healthier you, because it allows you to figure out exactly what you need to do to take better care of yourself. A small change, like keeping a planner or a calendar on the fridge, can help you write down all your responsibilities and appointments, while at the same time keeping your life a bit more organized. You can also create an area to keep keys, purses, backpacks, briefcases, and coats, and make sure they’re ready to go for the next day. We encourage you to take care of yourself by getting organized, your body will thank you!

Health Tip for the day: Exercise Daily!
We all know exercise is good for us, but do we really know how good it is? Daily exercise can help you both physically and mentally, boosting your mood and reducing stress and anxiety, not to mention helping you shed extra weight.
Of course, it might be hard to go to the gym every day, so try to incorporate other exercises, such as walking, tennis, or yoga, which may be able to fit into your schedule more easily. The most important thing is to create a routine that works for you.

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month!
What has your blood sugar been up to lately?
Get an A1C test to find out your average levels—important to know if you’re at risk for prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, or if you’re managing diabetes.
The A1C test—also known as the hemoglobin A1C or HbA1c test—is a simple blood test that measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 3 months. It’s one of the commonly used tests to diagnose prediabetes and diabetes, and is also the main test to help you and your health care team manage your diabetes. Higher A1C levels are linked to diabetes complications, so reaching and maintaining your individual A1C goal is really important if you have diabetes.
