Start Back to School with Diet, Exercise and Sleep!
As we move into the new school year the need for the triad: adequate sleep, physical activity and a healthy diet are key components to a healthier lifestyle for children as well as adults.
There are so many areas where the targets of social media are to foster a “need” for youth to stay glued to their phones which often times leads to less engagement in as well as reduced physical activity. In addition much of the advertisements focus on “foods” that are not so healthy.
