This week, we’re talking food upcycling, which is basically using what you already have before it ends up in the trash.

That could mean turning leftovers into another meal, freezing fruits or veggies before they go bad, or using scraps, like veggie ends, for things like broth. Getting creative with your food can help cut down on waste and help you maximize your grocery budget.

Not everything requires an immediate response.

Taking a moment to prioritize, reflect, and respond with intention can reduce stress and improve focus throughout the day. Urgency has its place, but so does clarity.

This Wellness Wednesday is a reminder that pacing and perspective are key to long-term well-being.

Wellness Wednesday check in.
Instead of rushing through the night, what would it look like to romanticize it a little?

Not in a big or aesthetic way. Just slowing down enough to make the evening feel intentional. A warm bath, journaling, skincare, lighting a candle, or a cup of tea. Whatever feels realistic after a long day.

It does not have to be a routine. Even a small pause can change the tone of the night.

Here’s to softer evenings.

Wellness Wednesday 🍋

Starting your morning with lemon water on an empty stomach is a simple habit that can support your overall wellness.

It helps rehydrate your body after sleep, supports digestion, provides a natural source of vitamin C, and may help reduce morning bloating.

Warm or room temperature water works best. Try drinking it before coffee or breakfast.

Wellness does not have to be complicated. Small habits done consistently matter.

Intermittent fasting gets a lot of buzz, but the real benefit is simple. It creates space. Space for your insulin levels to settle. Space for digestion to finish its job. Space for your body to use stored energy instead of constantly processing the next meal.

Many people notice steadier energy, fewer afternoon crashes, and better focus. Not because it is a trend, but because the body finally gets a pause.

It is not for everyone and it does not have to look extreme. Even extending the time between dinner and breakfast can make a difference.

As always, listen to your body and talk to a healthcare provider if you have health conditions.

Happy Wellness Wednesday.

The 2025-2026 flu season is likely going to get worse, officials say.

A powerful read from the SaportaReport on food insecurity in Metro Atlanta — and why collaboration matters now more than ever.

Hunger isn’t just about food availability. It’s about how well our systems work together to support families facing rising costs and fewer safety-net resources. When healthcare, community partners, and local leaders align, food access becomes part of a healthier, more resilient community.

Take a moment to read this article highlighting The Fulton-DeKalb Hospital Authority and learn why coordination, trust, and shared action are key to addressing hunger in our region.
