Weekly Newsletter – 11/13/2024

I hope the gratitude practice that you have started has been beneficial and allowed you to focus on the present moment a bit each day!

The challenge this week is to write a gratitude letter to someone in your life for whom you feel grateful! You can do this more than once if you have multiple people you’d like to express your gratitude for. Then deliver these letters in person if possible!

Cheers,
Catherine Tro

Healthy Living Tip

Know Your Key Health Numbers

According to the American Heart Association, adults should know their key health numbers, including total cholesterol, HDL (good cholesterol), blood pressure and blood sugar. If you’re unsure what your “numbers” are, schedule a visit with your doctor to monitor them and understand why each is important. Here’s a quick definition of each metric:

  • Cholesterol – Cholesterol is a lipoprotein in our body’s tissues that forms and maintains cell membranes.
  • Blood pressure – Blood pressure refers to the amount of force the heart must use to pump blood throughout the body.
  • Blood sugar – Blood sugar measures the concentration of glucose in the blood.
