Move More, Feel Better

As you work on improving your nutrition, remember that healthy nutrition works best when paired with movement. Staying active—whether through walking, playing outside, gardening, or structured exercise—supports heart health, strength, and mental well-being. Every bit of movement counts!

Challenge yourself to move more this year, start with everyday activities:
- park in the back of a parking lot
- skip the grocery delivery and shop it yourself
- avoid the elevators & take the stairs
- take an evening walk

Let's move more and improve our community's health and wellness, one step at a time!

Strengthening Pediatric Care Here at Home!

As a participating hospital in the Kids Alliance for Better Care (KidsABC), we are committed to strengthening pediatric emergency care in Coffee County. The alliance, established in 2023, is a collaboration between Mercer University School of Medicine (MUSM), its Georgia Rural Health Innovation Center (GRHIC) and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (Children’s).

As a rural hospital, we face unique challenges in our ability to treat and keep pediatric patients here at home. KidsABC is focused on improving access to quality pediatric care.

KidsABC helps participating hospitals, like Coffee Regional, acquire child-friendly equipment, complete pediatric-specific emergency care staff training and implement the latest protocols and policies for treating children with critical conditions, such as asthma and diabetic ketoacidosis.

Plan to Succeed

When it comes to nutrition in our home, healthy habits are easier to maintain with a plan:

- Be intentional when grocery shopping—read labels and shop the perimeter of the store (fresh fruits & vegetables, lean meats, low-fat dairy)

- Plan meals and snacks ahead of time to avoid last-minute, less healthy choices (a weekly meal plan can save you time, money, and calories)

- Talk with your family about nutrition goals so everyone is on board (make sure your meal plan includes items everyone is open to trying and enjoying)

- Make healthy foods visible and accessible at home (a fruit bowl on the kitchen counter & high protein, low sugar yogurt cups make snacking healthy)

New Year. New You. (with good Nutrition)

Nutrition is what we consume to fuel our everyday activities. Healthy nutrition doesn’t require perfection. It starts with mindful choices, such as:

- Choosing whole, minimally processed foods
**Processed foods are those bags of corn chips, packs of cheese crackers & cookies, & boxes of cereal.**

- Building meals around lean protein, fresh fruits, and colorful vegetables
**A good meal could be grilled chicken, a sliced apple, and a side of wild rice and green beans.**

- Selecting whole grains over refined grains
**Choosing whole grain means opting for wild rice or brown rice instead of white rice, or whole wheat bread instead of white bread.**

- Limiting sugary drinks and highly processed snacks
**Avoiding sugary juices and sodas and choosing water can make a big difference. Grab a banana instead of a candy bar for a sweet snack!**

- Paying attention to portion sizes
**Using a smaller plate and being aware of your portion sizes helps prevent overeating.**

- Plan to Succeed
**Make a meal plan and then a specific grocery list of healthy choices your family enjoys - and have fun improving your family's nutrition!**

Fuel your body with healthy choices.
Choose health—one meal at a time.
