The first part of Wellness is to develop healthy habits. Start by making sure you put food into your body that is packed with nutrition. Nutrients in food are important not only to give you energy and fuel for growth but certain ones are important to regulate your immune system, cushion the stress of daily life, and even out your blood sugar to avoid the spike and crash effect of grains and starches.
Daily foods: 2-3 servings of milk or milk products; whole grains, lean proteins, unlimited vegetables and fruits( at least 3 each day, strive for 5)

Weekly: try to incorporate legumes(black beans, chickpeas, chili beans, pea soup, lentils) and fish(particularly a fatty fish like salmon or sardines) into one or even two meals every week.

Start early in the day packing your meals with protein to even out the sugar release in your bloodstream. If you snack, try to dip or spread a protein like cheese, hummus, yogurt or peanut butter on the carb. This will also tide over your hunger between meals.

Drink PLENTY of liquid every day. Try to get 16 ounces of any liquid in before you leave the house each morning.

"That's a WRAP!"
The National Federation of Families has adopted this as their campaign them and I love it!

Seemingly simple keys to taking control of your mental health and wellbeing:

Wellness: Creating healthy habits, practicing mindfulness and self care

Resilience: The ability to bounce back from challenges and difficulties. Developing positive coping skills and finding strength in adversity.

Action: Taking proactive steps to support mental health, including seeking help when needed, advocating for change and raising awareness

Purpose: Finding direction and meaning in your life to foster a sense of belonging and contribution to society.

I will be breaking down each of these steps with practical ways to incorporate these steps into your family's daily life.
As always if you are struggling with mental health issues, contact our office.

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Monroe County (CCE-Monroe) is pleased to announce an expansion of our nutrition outreach!

Alexandra (Ally) Miller is one of CCE-Monroe’s newest members joining us as a Nutrition Educator. Ally grew up in the Rochester area, but spent the last four years in Buffalo, getting her bachelor’s degree in Public Health from the University at Buffalo’s exceptional School of Public Health. She was driven by her strong aspiration to help others while learning about community health, community outreach and various public health interventions. Ally has followed her passions all the way to her career with CCE and is excited to give back to her community.
Through funding provided by the Monroe County Legislature, nutrition education will be available to all residents throughout Monroe County. Unlike SNAP-Education which is restricted by demographics and grant requirements, this funding allows Ally to reach any community interested in learning more about healthy eating, wellness, strategies to stretch food budgets, making healthy meals, and more.

We have been seeing an increase in pertussis, or whooping cough, in the past month or so. Outbreaks in daycares in our area as well as RIT are ongoing. In the early stages, or with older children, there is no "whoop." Please schedule an office appointment for testing if your child has a hacking cough that is hard to catch their breath, or a cough that leads to vomiting or any cough lasting more than one week.

Learn more about the symptoms, causes, treatment of this highly contagious, vaccine-preventable lung infection.
