• Why Staying Upright After Eating is Important

Lying down too soon after eating can trigger acid reflux and disrupt digestion. Stay upright at least 60 minutes after each meal; especially the last meal before bed.

• Balance Problems Can Start in the Ears

Your inner ear controls more than just hearing — it’s key to your balance. Dizziness or vertigo might be ear-related, especially with motion sensitivity.

🌿 For this week's Wellness Wednesday: Let's Talk Bone Health!

Strong bones are the foundation of a healthy, active life! As we age, our bone density naturally decreases, which increases risk of osteoporosis and fractures. The good news? There are simple steps you can take to protect your bones every day!

▪️Weight-bearing exercises like walking or strength training keep bones strong and reduces risk of bone loss.

▪️Include calcium-rich foods (dairy, leafy greens, almonds) and Vitamin D sources (fish, eggs, fortified foods).

▪️Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol, both of which weaken bones.

▪️A DEXA scan is a test that measures bone density and helps detect osteoporosis early. Screening starts at age 65 or earlier based on risk factors.

Screening recommendations may vary by individual health status. Talk to your healthcare provider about the best timing for you.

💡Tip Tuesday: Know Your Fiber!

A healthy gut starts with fiber — and not all fiber is the same! Both types play a role in your health.

Soluble Fiber: Dissolves in water
• Lowers cholesterol
• Balances blood sugar
• Feeds your good gut bacteria
Found in: oats, apples, berries, carrots, beans

Insoluble Fiber: Does Not dissolve in water
• Adds bulk to stool
• Prevents constipation
• Keeps things moving
Found in: whole grains, leafy greens, cucumber skin, nuts

Aim for 25–30 grams of fiber daily - increase slowly and add water to avoid bloating.

It’s Wellness Wednesday!

Too busy for a full workout? That’s okay — every bit counts!
Try these mini moves during your day:

✅ 10 squats at your desk or in the kitchen
✅ Take the stairs instead of the elevator
✅ Stretch for 5 minutes during your lunch break

Remember no matter how seasoned you are in physical activity, this journey is a marathon, not a sprint. Take it one step at a time...
