Feeling a bit sluggish this holiday season after all the festive meals and sweet treats? Slip into comfortable clothes, lace up your shoes, and take a brisk walk. Even a short daily walk can support your overall health and well-being. Regular walking is associated with:
• Increased energy levels as blood flow and oxygen circulation improve
• Enhanced mood due to the release of endorphins and reduced stress
• Improved focus and alertness, supported by increased cerebral blood flow
• Benefits to memory and cognitive function, especially with consistent activity
• Lower blood pressure and improved heart health
• Better balance and coordination, especially as walking helps strengthen lower-body muscles
• Support for maintaining a healthy weight, which contributes to reduced strain on joints and the cardiovascular system
• Improved blood sugar control, particularly after meals
Even a short 10-minute walk can make a meaningful difference. This holiday season, consider adding a walk into your daily routine to help maintain your energy, clear your mind, and support your long-term health.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic condition affecting the central nervous system, in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the brain and spinal cord. For individuals living with MS, daily choices can play an important role in supporting overall health and managing symptoms.
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society notes that while there is no single diet that’s proven best for MS, healthy eating habits can help support long-term nervous system wellness. Its recommendations for good health include:
• Preparing meals at home whenever possible
• Including fresh fruits and vegetables in your daily routine
• Choosing whole grains instead of refined grains
• Limiting processed foods and added sugars
While you move through the holiday season, these guidelines can serve as helpful reminders. Incorporating more whole foods, planning balanced meals, and making mindful choices at gatherings can support overall well-being for those living with MS and for anyone striving for healthier habits.
If you have MS or care for someone who does, consider speaking with your healthcare provider about nutritional strategies that best fit your individual needs.

Parkinson’s disease is a long-term neurological condition that affects movement and coordination. Early signs can look different from person to person, but common symptoms may include shaking or tremors, smaller handwriting, loss of smell, sleep issues, stiffness or slow movement, constipation, a softer voice, reduced facial expression, dizziness, stooped posture, or trouble swallowing.
Having one or more of these symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean you have Parkinson’s. Many other conditions can cause similar changes. If you notice new or worsening symptoms, it’s important to speak with your physician for proper evaluation and guidance.
