Living Well

Back to School, Back to Wellness

As the school year starts, it's a great time to refocus on wellness. Between new routines and busy schedules, small choices can go a long way toward keeping families feeling their best. A few thoughtful changes help make the transition smoother and help everyone start the school year with more energy and balance. Here are a few ways to help your family feel their best this school season.

How to Pack a Quick and Healthy Lunch

Whether you're packing lunch for the back-to-school crowd or the workday, it doesn't have to feel like a chore. With a little forethought, tasty, healthy lunches can be put together in minutes and without breaking the bank.

Seasonal Food Guide

Seasonal food is produce that is purchased and consumed around the time that it is harvested. Why is it important to eat food that's in season? Seasonal food is fresher, tastier and more nutritious than food consumed out of season. Find out what's in season near you.

Blue Light, Technology & Sleep

Studies suggest that those exposed to blue light before bedtime experience reduced quality sleep. To lessen potential sleep difficulties, avoid the following in the hour before bedtime:

  • TVs
  • Computers and laptops
  • Cell phones
  • Other electronics that emit blue light
