Make Self-Care A Priority

Too often we put our own needs aside to get things done for family, work and other responsibilities. To be your best you, it’s important to add a healthy dose of self-care.

• Add calming activities to your day, like lunchtime walks and yoga, to rejuvenate and refresh.
• Take time out for you – use your vacation days, whether you go on a big trip or just hang at home for a staycation.
• Don’t overlook your emotional and mental health – get help if you need it to manage stress, anxiety, depression or grief.

National Nutrition Month and Colorectal Cancer Month:

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness and National Nutrition Month. Proper nutrition improves your chances of maintaining health and can decrease the risk of cancer. National Nutrition Month and Colorectal Cancer Awareness month both seem to be intricately related to the importance of promoting a healthy diet and lifestyle.
