Developing a routine when working out is important for achieving fitness goals and protecting your body from injury. Below are some tips and tools on developing the perfect workout routine. Use these tips to customize a workout routine that works for you! Tip 1: Consistency Building a strong fitness routine does not happen overnight. You must develop a process and work at it regularly. Decide how many days you are going to work out each week and commit to fitting it into your schedule.

Sunlight, Vitamin D, and Skin Protection: A Balanced Approach

-
Image
  With the beginning of summer, many of us are happy to be outside again. Sunlight can help regulate circadian rhythm, support mood, and contribute to vitamin D production. At the same time, ultraviolet (UV) exposure increases the risk of skin cancer, and Vermont consistently reports melanoma rates well above the national average. According to the National Cancer Institute State Cancer Profiles , Vermont's melanoma incidence rate is about 35 cases per 100,000 people, compared to about 23 per 100,000 nationally.  With so much conflicting information available, it can sometimes sound like there are only two choices: avoid the sun or skip sun protection. In reality, the research supports a more balanced middle ground.  Natural light exposure, especially earlier in the day, helps support the body's sleep-wake cycle and may improve alertness and mood. Sunlight also helps the skin produce vitamin D, which is important for bone health, muscle function, and immune health. Importa...

Men's Health Month Tips

  June is Men's Health Month, and it can be a helpful reminder to pay attention to the habits and screenings that support long-term health.  Many common conditions affecting men, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers, can develop gradually with few early symptoms. Preventive care and routine screenings help catch concerns earlier, when treatment is often simpler and more effective. Health habits also do not need to be all-or-nothing to make a difference. Research shows that small, consistent behaviors are more likely to last over time than major lifestyle overhauls.  A few simple ideas:  Take a 10-minute walk after meals Add protein and fiber to snacks and lunches Drink water regularly throughout the day Stretch before or after long periods or driving or sitting Schedule a preventive visit or screening you've been postponing Aim for a little more sleep when possible Even small changes can support energy, mood, heart heal...

  Small Ways to Support Inclusion All Year Long June may be Pride Month, but creating a welcoming and inclusive community doesn't end when the calendar turns to July. Inclusion is built through everyday actions that help people feel seen, respected, and valued.  Here are a few ways to carry the spirit of Pride throughout the year: Lead with curiosity and respect. Everyone's experiences and identities are unique. Approaching others with kindness, openness, and a willingness to learn can help build stronger connections and understanding.  Use inclusive language. Simple choices such as using a person's correct name and pronouns, or avoiding assumptions about someone's family, relationships, or experiences can make a meaningful difference. If you make a mistake, acknowledge it, correct yourself, and continue the conversation. Listen to understand. When someone shares a perspective or experience different from your own, practice listening without judgment. Feeling heard is a...

  Preventing Diabetes In many cases, diabetes is a preventable disease.  This means that by making lifestyle changes we can improve quality of life. Aim to start small with manageable improvements to what you are already doing and build from there. Dietary changes include eating a variety of whole, unprocessed foods, consuming more fruits and vegetables. Beverages matter too!  Aim to drink more water and avoid sugary drinks. Physical activity is also important; the CDC recommends 150 minutes of moderate level exercise and 2 strength building sessions over the course of a week. If you lead a sedentary lifestyle, aim to work more movement into your day wherever possible, like parking farther from your destination and going downstairs to use the bathroom. Try different types of exercise to find the ones that are most enjoyable to you or make activity social by inviting friends. Prediabetes & Diabetes Before people develop type 2 diabetes, they usually have prediabetes. T...

Simple Strategies For Better Time Management

  Time management is essential to balance our professional and personal lives effectively. Developing strong time management skills can lead to increased productivity, reduced stress, more time for ourselves, and a better work-life balance. One key strategy is to prioritize tasks. Start by making a to-do list and ranking tasks by importance and deadlines. For example, if you have a project due at the end of the week, focus on completing the most critical parts first. This ensures that high-priority tasks are completed on time. Another effective technique is the Pomodoro Technique. This involves working for 25 minutes, then taking a 5-minute break. After four cycles, take a longer break of 15-30 minutes. This method helps maintain focus and prevents burnout. Using a calendar or planner is also crucial. Scheduling specific times for work tasks, meetings, and personal activities can help you stay organized. For example, block off time for answering emails, attending meetings, an...
