Good Morning!!
As your resident Florence Nightingale, I would like to encourage you all to seriously consider getting a Flu Shot!! It is one of the simplest ways to stay healthier from the months of October to May. Please consult with your PCP if you have allergies to eggs and are unable to get the flu shot- there are alternatives!!
I am very happy to read all the great ways the Adams Community is trying to stay healthy!! I will re-iterate a few great ways to stay fit:
1. DRINK WATER!! avoid the sodas, fruit juices.....they are filled with nothing but sugar and fructose
2. Try and eat fresh! Fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables
3. Avoid Processed Foods- "Foods in a Box" they are packed with preservatives and artificial dyes, loaded with carbs, salt, sugars.
4. Eat quality proteins- wild fish- salmon, cod, free range chicken, pork, scallops, lean beef, turkey
5. Healthy snacks in between meals to avoid the "crash"...hummus with carrots, grapes, an apple with peanut butter...
6. Follow this rule - "eat like a King for Breakfast, like a Prince for Lunch and like a Pauper for Dinner....
7 LAY off the Bread!!
8. Get up and move!!! Walk for 30 mins each day, take the stairs when you can, park a little further from the entrance to a store
9. Everyone should see their dentist at least once a year for a cleaning and check up
10, Everyone should see their PCP once every 2 years for exam an physical- get screening tests and baselines to get ahead of disease and problems before its an emergency!
I hope everyone as a great Friday and stays safe! Laura
