When the weather is pleasant, there’s no better time to get moving! Walking outdoors not only boosts your mood and reduces stress but also supports heart health, strengthens muscles, and improves circulation.

Just 30 minutes a day can lower your risk of chronic conditions, help manage weight, and give you a refreshing mental reset. Plus, the sunshine provides a natural dose of vitamin D! 🌞

So lace up your shoes, take advantage of the great weather, and let every step move you toward better health. 💙

💜 Today, we walked with purpose. 💜
We created a team, donated to a cause that means the world to us, and joined the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in honor of someone incredibly special who is bravely facing this disease.
Every step we took was for hope. For awareness. For a future without Alzheimer’s.
To everyone who supported, donated, or simply showed love — thank you. Let’s keep walking, fighting, and remembering. 💜

Perimenopause is the natural transition leading up to menopause — a time when hormone levels shift and menstrual cycles change.

It can bring hot flashes, mood swings, sleep changes, and more.

Gaining a clear understanding of this process is essential for managing symptoms and maintaining overall health. Empower yourself with knowledge, and prioritize self-care during this important stage! 💪✨

Low back pain affects nearly 80% of adults at some point in life, but simple stretches can make a big difference in relief and mobility. 🌿

Top 3 Stretches for Back Pain at Home:
1️⃣ Rib Pull Stretch: Loosens your mid-spine and improves shoulder mobility
2️⃣ Cat-Camel Stretch: Mobilizes your entire spine for flexibility and relief
3️⃣ Single/Double Knee to Chest: Relaxes hips, glutes, and lower back

Hold each stretch for about 1 minute, breathe deeply, and listen to your body. Consistent movement helps maintain a healthy spine and can reduce discomfort over time.

If back pain persists or worsens, consult with Dr. Gupta, who can guide you with personalized care and effective treatments. 💪🧘‍♂️

Pumpkin is a nutritional powerhouse that can enhance your meals in multiple ways. It’s rich in vitamin A (from beta-carotene) to support eye health and immunity, vitamin C for collagen production and antioxidant protection, and dietary fiber to promote healthy digestion and satiety. Pumpkin also contains potassium for heart and muscle function, and antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and protect cells from damage.

Incorporate pumpkin into soups, stews, smoothies, roasted dishes, or even baked goods to boost flavor and nutrition effortlessly.🎃
