Wellness Tips

• Wake and walk. Fall out of bed and lace up your sneakers, even before your brain has a chance to wake up. Walk for a minimum of 10 minutes or 1000 steps... everyday.

• Take time for you in the morning hours. Morning is the ideal time to fit in a relaxing activity because it's quiet, there are few disturbances and your mind isn't filled with stressful thoughts of the day yet to come. Taking a few moments to relax before you start your day can provide inner tranquility and a sense of peace to you throughout the day. Whether it is meditation, listening to relaxing music or light exercise, find the technique that works best for you.

• Start your day off right. Whether it's in a glass, in your cereal, or added in your coffee, milk contains nine essential nutrients to help fuel your body for the day ahead.
